Date night was Saturday and Brian and I ended up at St. Claire Winery for dinner. They happened to be having a wine tasting event...right up our alley... and on a whim we entered the "Summer Crush" grape stomping contest. Long story short, we WON 1ST PLACE on Saturday night (a gift certificate to come back to the winery) and the opportunity to come back and stomp again for a chance to win a trip for two to Las Vegas (exchangeable for another destination thank goodness). When we told the kids this morning about our little date night adventure they were so excited about the prospect of winning a trip that we decided to take them with us this evening to cheer us on in the stomping finals. WE WON THE TRIP!!!! We had to crush sixteen pounds of grapes as much as we could with our bare feet in three minutes. Our strategy was no grapes left behind and use Brian's giant feet!
Here's the cheering section!
