James' Grandpa lives way out in north Pasco area. This is where all the different varieties of farms reside. Luckily for us, grandpa lives next to a cherry and Golden Delicious apple orchard. After the Apples are harvested, we go in and glean them to make apple cider. This is an all day event. I think this year we did well over 40 jugs of cider. I volunteered to be in the kitchen with the help of Ian's mom to make the food for all the hard workers. Lunch was butternut squash soup with coconut-ginger, and summer sausage potato soup with kale. Rissa made 6 loaves of delicious home made bread. There were no left overs, and we both got rave reviews. I then put together 3 large apple crisps with whip cream, and hot apple cider to top it off. It was a fabulous day. One I look forward to every year.
I love it when they get the kids involved!
And here's our HAPPY BUNCH!

Hazzah! There are pictures! I thought wwe would never see evidence, beyond the cider in my basement, that we went out. Aren't we a good looking bunch.
Yes we are!
