First fruits

Today Aaron picked the first bunch of green grapes from his parent's backyard vines.

I've never been in Prosser for grape season before. It's going to be fun. Especially with all the vineyards and wineries in the area.

Aaron's sister works at a local winery -- Airfield Estates -- and they have an annual grape-stomping celebration. Maybe this year I can roll up the legs of my jeans and get in on the action. I'll feel like a cast-member in A Walk In the Clouds. Ha!

And when the red backyard grapes start coming on, Aaron's mom and dad will make grape juice. They make so much, we get to drink it all year long....
