Making Apple Cider



My friends, Paul and Amy, invited us to Bull Creek Ranch to make apple cider this afternoon so we just had to take them up on it. Bull Creek is one of the greatest places to hang out and the weather was just perfect for making apple cider and...



SWIMMING!






Yep, the boys decided to get in the pond for a little swim. They had a ball jumping off the dock and swimming in that COLD water! Annabelle and I enjoyed watching them from the shore.

The boys were very excited to be a part of the apple juicing process . They helped Amy pick the apples and then used the peeler to get them ready for the press. Paul and Amy were so sweet and let them turn every crank and try every gadget throughout the afternoon.

Annabelle and I ate lots of apples and enjoyed the finished product.








It was the perfect fall day, well, I don't guess swimming in a pond is considered a fall activity..... Unless you are Caleb and Adam!

Suzanne & Ron have a wedding and event catering business. They are very generous and hospitable to our family and the neighborhood, as you guys know from that birthday party they let us have there in August.

Love ya'all!

That looks like so much fun, I'm glad you did that instead of hanging out with exhausted me on Wednesday! I couldn't remember if we had decided or not?
I love making apple cider, we had a bunch of apple trees growing up and we had an apple cider maker in our back yard and would have big fall parties where we made cider! it was so much fun! such a great fall activity
