Grape Stomp

How would you like to put your feet into a vat of purple grapes and stomp up and down to produce the largest amount of grape juice for a competition? Sounds like fun huh. Well we did not do exactly that but the kids did get to step into some grape juice and make their feet prints on a t-shirt, and then try their “feet” out at stomping a few grapes. I would think it might hurt your feet with the stems still in there but who knows. Not having tried I could not say. For those of you who would like to try, you can go to a grape stomp and see how good you are at making juice. No I don’t think they will make you drink it but who knows. This was the first annual grape stomp at a new housing development down in San Antonio; I can only hope that it will get better with time. The one good thing was that your taste of wine was like a whole glass. That’s right no little bit, that you are swishing around and possibly swallowing, but a whole glass. Pretty cool; except for the prego woman who wanted to try as many as possible but could not because of the size of the “samples.” What I did try was very yummy. Now normally I would not want to ruin a good wine by adding things to it, but the Sangria they had was nice. You could drink a lot of that and not really know that you would be messed up later. I had to pass my cup away after one sip, bummer. I think the kids had the most fun, running around in the pool “trying” not to get too wet. Isabelle really likes her t-shirt and wears it to bed every night she can.
