Porto Ercole, tractors and cupcakes

So much fun for children--and adults--at the Marginis. Antonio rode with Julia on the back of the tractor as our friend went on a mission to move a rock. It doesn's sound like much, you say? Ha! Take 3 four year olds and adults who like to play with toys like tractors, add an enormous rock in the way in the olive grove...and, voila, instant entertainment.
Pietro, Antonio and Maggie's adorable, sweet-tempered 4 year old, took the work very seriously, waking up each morning with the statement "I have work to do. I must go and ride the tractor to move the rock." Graham could not agree more!
Julia? Along for the ride with her boys! Plus, she got to play with her 'dream bakery' with Maggie, Antonio's wife, later in the day. Julia had patiently waited the entire trip to get her hands on her bakery. Thank you, Maggie! Who has intuitive skills re: crafts...a class I definitely didn't take growing up...the cupcake is a result of Julia + Maggie's hard work.
I got to take the picture ;)
