Off Track October = Fall Fun

 One afternoon Kurt Larson in our ward called us up and said to come up to his house to help him make apple juice.  None of us had ever made apple juice before and we had a  great time doing it.
 Kurt buys 5 of these huge crates of apples!  We couldn't believe it.  He juices all the apples and takes the juice to people in the ward and canyon.  What a great family.
 We would sort through and pick out the bad apples.  Wash the apples off and then put them in this apple juice grinder.  This machine would work by spinning a wheel which Anne is doing in the picture above.  It would grind up the apples and then it would squeeze all the juice out of the apples.  It was the most amazing juice I have ever tasted!  We worked for about an hour and earned some apple juice to take home.
 One afternoon we headed over to the pumpkin patch to pick out our pumpkins for carving.


 They had some corn the kids could play around in.  We were the only ones there so we played in it for a while.


We spent an afternoon at Ryan and Erin's home and visited with Aunt Carol from Oregon.  It always fun to catch up with family.
