'Pinners

Last week I mentioned Drew's fascination with "purple fowers", but that's only one of the things that get him all excited. Another... "'pinners". Now what is a 'pinner you ask?

Well you and I may call it a windmill, but in the mind of a 23-month old, it's a 'pinner.

Occasionally a 'pinner can be a "fand" (aka a fan), or a pinwheel, but lately he's intrigued by windmills. He has a train set at home that has a windmill.

Going through the Altamont Pass or over Vasco Road, there are "'pinner" farms, and he sees a multitude of them. (Those who live outside the area, the Altamont Pass is what we go over to get to I5 which takes us to LA, and Vasco, well it's the "shortcut" from Grammy's to the Livermore wineries). So over the weekend after we picked Drew up at Grammy & GrampC's, Dave thought it would be fun to take him to see the 'pinners and pick up our wine shipment. So we did! Problem was, this was the view Drew had of the outside attraction:

Apparently we stayed a bit too long at Grammy's and he decided to catch his nap right as we hit all the 'pinners!

We I have paid for it ever since too. He has asked to see the 'pinners everyday after I pick him up from day care. Guess we'll have to plan another trip to see the 'pinners soon, so the kid can get his promised fix.
