Daddy's Day Off

This morning was a nice relaxing morning with Matt home.  He took the day off to go hunting, but it was raining so hard this morning, he decided to just stay in bed.  We just lazed around while we waited for some friends to come over.  We were making pizza and cider!

Mrs. Bunch, Audrey, Mrs. Lynch, Nolan and Alison came to join the festivities!  Matt even put Mrs. Bunch and Mrs. Lynch to work.  They washed and cut out the bad parts on the apples.  After they were all clean and ready to go, Matt began the cider press.  Each of the kids wanted to take a turn with the handle and they all realized how difficult it really was to press apples!

 

 

After all of the apples were "shredded", Matt pressed them down and out came the cider!  We got about 2 gallons!  Everyone enjoyed some pizza and a nice cup of fresh cider!  It was so yummy!

We had some apple pieces left so Matt took them out back to the deer.  The kids watched from the deck and loved seeing the deer up so close to our house.  It was so much fun!  I am so thankful for our home that allows us to have people over so much more often.  What a fun way to spend Daddy's day off!
