Olive Picking Party

Every year on the day after Thanksgiving, Jeff's aunt and uncle in Aptos host an Olive Picking Party at their house. Jeff's uncle, Nico, is from Italy so once everyone is done picking olives, he feeds everyone amazing lasagna and bruschetta.

Great Grandma Bolger was in town from San Diego for Thanksgiving and the Olive Picking Party so we got to spend some good, quality time with her.


Jeff was put to work making the bruschetta for the hundred or so hungry olive pickers so Ben and I went up and down the hills picking olives and having fun in the mud!




Here, we are very happily eating our bruschetta and playing with the chickens...


Turns out, it was nearly 70 degrees so all the kids jumped in the pool. We weren't expecting such a nice day since it rained the day before but Ben insisted on taking a dip so the diaper-clad dude hopped in the hot tub. Not a bad way to relax after the olive harvest!
