Simplest Pleasures

CiderFest 2009

Each year our friends have a Ciderfest where they make cider from the 20+ apple trees that conviently grow right in their own backyard. It has become one of our family traditions. The kids look forward to it every year.

Fun Family Fact: About two years ago, I actually went into labor at night with Little Bub after climbing and picking in the apple trees.

This was one of the biggest apples picked the whole day and Peanut found it :)

The boys were driving the tractor.

Baby B even got in on the fun this year. She is grabbing at everything.

This is the only picture I have of Big Bub with the apples. He was more interested in

the sweets in the house and the playground.

Here goes Little Bub...he is so cute. He liked picking the apples but the

branches kept poking his face.

We will be spending the week making every kind of apple recipe you can think of. We made some applesauce tonight and will be making some more tomorrow along with some apple butter. I have this real handy dandy apple corer/slicer/peeler that makes preparing the apples a breeze.
