Cider Fest

We have a long 'to do' list to complete before the baby arrives in a month or so. After church on Sunday, we had grand plans of getting things done and cleaning around the house. We were eating lunch when Shannon called and asked if we wanted to meet them at the cider mill. Sounded like a much better way to spend the afternoon, so off we went - cleaning can always wait. :)

Karsten was excited to see Grandma and Papa - he wore his shades for a while just like Papa.

Turned out it was Cider Days at the cider mill, so it was PACKED with people. We weren't anticipating the crowds. Inside this barn you can watch the process they go through in order to make cider.

One of the best parts of going to the cider mill is cider donuts. The funny face Karsten has here is because he has a mouthful of donuts.

Apple cider slushes are also pretty great!

And then it was time for another donut. :)

Scott and I enjoying the festivities.

While we were eating our donuts, they started to dump apples from a truck into the washing area before the apples go into the process of being made into cider.

Karsten and Scott really enjoyed watching all of the apples get dumped out of the truck!

And of course we had to visit the pumpkins. Karsten really liked to sit on the pumpkins.

One of the booths in the festival area was for kettle corn. Grandma got a sample and shared with Karsten.

After spending a couple of hours at cider fest, we headed home with one tired little boy. He had so much fun seeing and watching everything.
