Yesterday we went to the cider pressing event that was part of the second day of the Key Peninsula Farm Tour! In doing so we found a new to us local park, and ended up meeting one of Squiddle's friends from the schoolbus. We took a box and the large harvest basket I use, both full of apples. For $25 we washed them, tossed them into what Wonderful Husband called "an apple chipper," and then got to crank them through the press. I'd brought four jugs - we only ended up needing three. But out of it we got two and a third gallons of fresh-pressed cider which Squiddle has declared is more delicious than our regular apple juice. Win!
(I think we will eventually get our own press. And figure out a grinder.)
We also took the boys to get their flu shots (Wonderful Husband and I got ours a week or two ago, but Walgreens apparently doesn't offer shots for kids; fortunately Rite Aid does). Both boys were pacified by the bribe of a lollipop. And then we went to Home Depot and investigated riding lawn mowers. ^_^
