Apples, Rasberries, Pears and Homemade Cider!

After picking pumpkins, we moved on to raspberries. It was so fun! Everyone got involved! It was like a scavenger hunt. You really had to look deep into the bushes, but when you found them, you felt like you really accomplished something! They were soooo delicious! We gobbled up most of them before we even put them in the basket!

It was so funny to see how "into it" everyone got. Papa and Daddy had to go off on their own... because they were looking for the best harvest! They found tons!

Grammy was wonderful to help Bright and Cole learn how to find the good ones. Big, plump, juicy, red ones! Delicious!!!
After Raspberries, we moved on to Apples and Pears.

































And then we made homemade cider at the cider press. The boys loved working together with all of our family to make the cider.

First papa and the boys chose the apples for us to use.

Then Bright and Cole tossed the apples in while papa and daddy turned the press.


The results were amazing. The BEST APPLE CIDER EVER! Even papa said so!
