We took a field trip to Cross Orchard Historic Farm in Grand Junction yesterday with about 7 other home schooling families. We witnessed apple cider being made on a press from 1897! Soooooo goooood!!! The farm was purchased in 1914 as a "showcase" farm by a wealthy family from New England. The kids enjoyed the tour. Our second stop was the History Museum of the west. Super fun with cowboys and Indians, old school houses and saloons, fire trucks and hot air balloons!
Apple box labels stuck on the kitchen ceiling to prevent the dust from falling into their food.
Enjoying fresh cider (cider is sweet and sour apples mixed, apple juice is just sweet, if you were wondering).
Just a bunch of punkins!
