Apple Cider

Our Apple Cider Day has come and gone, and we had such fun! 

 

 

 

 

 

 We had family come from out of town
 

 

 

And it didn't matter the age, everyone from the tiniest to the biggest helped out!

And all of our efforts paid off . . .
 

 

 

 We ended the evening with gallons and gallons of CIDER!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Cider Time!

It's Cider-making day, hooray!
Our 2nd annual Cider press!

Chili is made, and in the crockpot.
Cornbread muffins are baked, and cooling.
Dip is ready to meet chip.
I have four loaves of bread to bake,
and one more pot of soup to put together . . .
and then we are READY!

I ♥ FALL!

Cider Makin'

 

Every year we go to the pumpkin patch, every year we buy their cider, and every year we cry when the last drop has been drunk.

So this year, we thought we'd buy our own apples, and do the cider makin' ourselves.  Even more fun?  Invite others over to share in the fun, and the work, {and the cost!}, and the deliciousness!!
So that is what we did, folks.
 

 

 

 We took a lot of apples, did a lot of slicing, a lot of crushing, and made a lot of cider! 
 

 

 

 And I'm thinking we're going to have to do this again soon, because there were an awful lot of apples left over ;) 
 

 

 

 I'm seeing some apple pie in our near future.

And the little ones?  They're not feeling so great :(  There has been some sort of illness circulating the house for the last month, but Kam has gotten a lot worse over the last few days.  We may have to make a trip to the doctor soon.

Taylor is cutting four molars at once, sigh.  And her new trick?  I'll let you see for yourself:




Minutes of entertainment, right there.
