Cider Squeeze

We headed out with the Diseths to make our own cider. We were not sure what it was all about, since none of us had ever been, but walked away with the most delicious apple cider that our kiddos helped make!

Apparently it is an annual event that happens at The Meeker Mansion in Puyallup.
So many people volunteered their time and cider presses. All money raised went to the Mansion.




Making the cider. Each of the kids dropped apples into the cider press, even little Hilary who could barely reach. She took her job very seriously!

The lady who owns this cider press is a recess teacher at Jackson's school. We had a good time visiting with her while the kids made the cider.

Ellee really wanted to take a bite out of this apple!





Pretty impressive. That's 2 buckets of apples!

Each of the kids had a turn pressing the apples to make the cider

All of those apples made 2 gallons of cider for us to take home.
I boiled some tonight and tried it.....Yum!
