We were recently invited to a friends house to help press some apple cider. We all had a blast, especially Elsy. Of course, I forgot to crack the camera out until the very end but I still snapped a few pictures.
There were about six of these big buckets of apples and we would put them into the dark blue bucket to soak before cutting them and then putting them in the press. Elsy spent nearly an hour running back and forth between apple bins and throwing apples into the water. I didn't even have to show her how.
She was soaked, but who cares? She couldn't have been happier.
Logan worked the press while I cut apples. We got some yummy cider out of the deal. I realized on the way home Logan hadn't known we were pressing the apples. I laughed and laughed because I realized I had said, "The Heywoods invited us over for Family Home Evening to drink homemade apple cider." After saying he wished he had worn some boots he mentioned how much better things taste and feel when you have worked hard for them. I think that can be something that we can apply to many areas of our lives.
Despite the lack of boots, we all had a ton of fun. :)
