Apple Juice

A few Saturday's ago some friends in the ward let us borrow their apple press to juice all our apples left on the tree in the backyard.

The kids were super helpers and unlike last year when we ended up finishing in the dark we did it first thing Saturday morning.

Mark dropping the apples in so they get chopped up.

Spencer held the lid closed so the apples didn't jump back out the top.
Jessie loves her cowboy hat.
After the apples are chopped we scrapped then into this little contraption and squeezed the juice out with a car jack. We ended up with 5 gallons of juice! This year I figured out how to strain it better and the juice turned out beautifully clear and tastes like you are drinking an apple.

Mark had so much fun helping do apples that he spent the whole afternoon over helping the friends we borrowed this from. He's such a good boy.

Sunday when Ken and the kids walked home from choir the sun was just starting to set and really lighting things up. Ken ran in to try and grab a few pictures before it was too late.

Our funny sleeper was at it again. Why do we have huge beds when they can fit on a single pillow?
