We went to an apple orchard last week to pick our own apples. It was an excellent way to spend a Saturday morning. I forget how beautiful the valley of Emmett is with all of it's fruit trees. The apples were tastey.
I only wish we lived close enough that we could have taken some home to make treats with.
They squeezed/pressed fresh apple juice. Delicious!! I could have drank the entire container, and it was large. Why do we put sugars, preservatives and add colors to things? Why are we afraid of drinking brown apple juice if that's what color it is when it's squeezed/pressed?
Connor-Man loved watching the apple juice fill up the container.
The kiddos were big helpers. Their buckets were filled over and over again. 
Meggers found more creative places to store hers.
Only part of the apples Lisa took home to sauce and dehydrate. My parent's van was also full when we left. When Lis ended up heading back to Rexburg she had 8 paper boxes full and that was after the kids ate about 5 apples each, every single day.

If you want to pick apples next year, we have five trees, and would love for you to come. You could even make your treats here! We don't have a press, but we do have an apple slinky maker which I'm sure Sarah will enjoy. Plus a canner to save them for later.
