On November 8, we attended Nathalie and Jerome Dupuy's annual Olive Picking Party. It was a glorious Fall day and over 100 friends joined in the work and fun. We hand-picked over 1.5 tons of olives which will be pressed into olive oil with each "worker" receiving a bottle or two as payment!!

Shane had a ball, but probably ran around and played on the trampoline more than he picked. Here he is in a rare "working" photo.
