Making apple cider – a fall family tradition

DSC_1082_10346DSC_1036_10300DSC_1063_10327DSC_1034_10298Okay, so I like fall, the leaves changing colors, the excitement about back to school, the soccer games and cross country matches and youth group events and boy scouts and family traditions like making apple cider.

You would not believe how excited our 6 year old got about making apple cider this year.

It only took my husband mentioning it once and there you have it. Augustin was remembering the past year and just could not wait to make apple cider again this y ear.

Chris went and got apples on his way home from work and dug out the old cider press and we all got our old clothes on on a Sunday afternoon and we were hooked.

Breezy was over as was Justin and we pressed and squeezed and filtered and worked and I of course took lots of photographs.

Traditions are important to family life and it is fun to include others in our family traditions.

And we made a couple of extra gallons to give to special neighbors in our lives.
