More Hunter Valley pictures...

Our friend, Jake, got this amazing shot as we hiked across a field to dinner. It was amazing that the restaurant recommended to us was just a short jaunt away. After a day at the vineyards and then more wine back at the house, walking was definitely our most appropriate mode of transportation.At dinner, we were informed that pushing your head out and chin down made for the most attractive portraits. I think I look a little like Gollum from Lord of the Rings. Eric just looks generally like a deviant.The walk back across the field, after MORE wine, was a bit more adventurous. We had Dan's iPhone to light our way, proving that the iPhone really can do it all. It actually has a flashlight feature. As we were walking in the (almost) pure darkness, Jake kept snapping photos of us, lighting the field for seconds at a time with his flash. Things got really interesting once someone said, "What if there is a murderer in these pictures with us that we can't see now??" Probably the single creepiest thing I've ever heard.

We sought solace in yet more wine over games until the wee hours once we arrived back at the house. I'd say this picture sums up the majority of our time in the Hunter Valley...

After four days of "relaxing" in the Hunter Valley, this was about all we were good for. And it's just a really nice picture of two of my favourite boys. Note Otis' imitation of a kangaroo's belly.
