Dad, Setting Up This is one of the events that Dad likes the most in the year. |
Pulling out the Grapes Rolling them out, really. There were a lot! |
The Juicer It's not as impressive as last year's, but it's not bad either. |
Some Grapes These grapes were picked out at the University farms over the last few weeks. |
|
|

|
Some More Grapes I actually helped out with some of it... though I spent more time with the apples. |
Assembling the Juicer Gotta get things ready to start shortly... |
Lines of Students With a couple of professors tossed in, admittedly. |
Preparing to Start Just going over a few last minute details. |
|

Early Lecture Explaining the history of grapes, wine, and grape stomping in a couple of minutes. |
Pool and Grapes This is what the students all stomped in. |
Taking Off Shoes The goal is not to get mud all over the grapes. Not that we're going to drink them anyway. |
First Stomping Dad was, of course, the first to start. |
|
|

|
Kids in a Pool I think the most you can reasonably fit in is four. Of course, not everyone is reasonable. |
Lines for the Pools This is a popular event, as you can probably tell. |
Post-Stomping Well, post round-one anyway. There was plenty to go! |
Lots of Pools Or at least lots of people in the pools, three pools isn't really that many. |
|

Getting In As far as I know, nobody slipped this year. |
Juice Close-Up All over her feet. Mmm... |
End Result This is what happens after a while of stomping. Mmm, again! |
Art I was promised the chance to go on the roof, and I missed it. Nuts! |

Pouring Juice Back over in the other side, juice was being created for drinking. |
Stuffing the Grapes Each set of grapes can survive two runs through the juicer... |
Really Stuffing Them ...three if you *really* try. |
Juice Output You can see the drips here at the bottom of the machine; this appeals to me. |
|

|
Pouring More Juice Dad had been put in charge of this part of the stomping by this point. |
Inside of the Juicing Bag It's just not as appetizing any more, is it? |
Stomping and Juice Two great things, together at last! |
Refilling the Pools The refilled grapes were colder, since they'd been frozen. *shiver* |
|

Flat Grapes Today's Physics Lesson: when you squish grapes, they get flat. |
Pouring Grapes The best shots from last year were like this... |
Pouring Grapes, II ...so I got quite a few shots of it again this year. |
Running the Juicer I should play with the machine next year. |
|

|
Juice Output That's real juice there! The good stuff! The S-U-G! |
Re-Stuffing the Grapes Another round two of the squishing. |
More Grape Pouring I do like the obvious action in these shots. |
Holy Juice Grail This somehow seemed appropriate for the juice. |
|

Dad's Goblet Certainly, Dad took to it quickly. |
Grape Stomp Sign I've learned in recent years to get shots like this, to help me later on. |
Drinking Juice Dad was excited to get a pitcher. |
Posing with the Class It's always great to see how much Dad and his students enjoy each other. |

Grizzled Dad Okay, so it doesn't look like blood at all. |
One Final Juice The color is more uniform this time. |
One Final Juice, II Of course, that means it doesn't taste quite as good... |
One Final Juice, III ...but the color is nifty. |
