Apple Cider Day

Life's been busy lately with C and H starting school, Me studying for My exam (Oct 30), and Beth doing things at church two nights a week. Today for a break, Beth and I took the kids to the Eidem Historical Farm for "Apple Cider Day."

Here's Cora cranking the apple masher:

In addition to that we got to see a 1900's baseball game (no mound, no gloves, no walks, balls caught on the first bounce are outs, the ball was brown, and once you score a run, you ring a bell on the scorer's table). We toured the farm (Cora had spent a week of day-camp there in the summer), got to drink lots of the cider we pressed, and got to taste some fresh-baked apple goodies. The kids played a game of egg-toss. Here's the story:

Looks like you had a fun day. Cora was sure a good sport about having an egg cracked on her head.
