Driver gets to choose the music. Daddy chose Pearl Jam. Veronica thought it was noise and kept asking us to change it.
The day before Wine & Dine, we went to Longwood Gardens, a vast botanical garden nearby (click this link for more info). They have a daily fountain show set to music, and lots of indoor and outdoor gardens. The highlight for me was the orchid room.
There is an awesome video of the kids singing a Moana song together, check it out at the album link below!
That evening, we got 2 babysitters for the 10 kids and the adults headed out for dinner and drinks!
And the next day was Wine & Dine! This is Jerry and Evan, 12, secondary sous chef. Everything was delicious, as usual.
This big boy is 5 liters of red wine! That doesn't have a technical name, per se, but it is between a Jereboam (4.5L) and an Imperial (6L). The more you know!
Making gnocchi.
All dressed up!
Jason is our sommelier.
Jason's wife Robyn is Jerry's sous chef.
This year Adrian was anointed Toastmaster! Check out the video of his Toastmaster speech in the album link below.
Toasting the Toastmaster's speech!
The traditional Toastmaster wine glass was left behind at Jerry's house, so we improvised. This is technically a vase!
But it looks perfectly normal next to the Jereboam/Imperial bottle!
Out on the patio after dinner! The weather was gorgeous.
Parenting, Adrian-style.
