2009 Annual Cider Party!

It was a busy Saturday, but well worth our efforts. We met with the Crook and Wallis families to make cider. Keith Munk was also there and put in a full day's work. The weather was chilly, but not rainy like some years.

We processed a variety of apples we had collected from the Crooks' orchard and from the Malouf's orchard in North Logan.





The Crooks' summer kitchen improves each year.
We still think the best addition was the hot water heater from a couple years ago.


The children took a break from playing to rub
dried kernels off corn cobs for chicken feed.


Dallin is at a difficult age for the cider party.
He's mobile enough to not enjoy sitting in a box
and watching us work unless we bribe him with a cookie!



We ended up with 60-70 gallons of cider by 9:00 p.m. YUM!
