Back in the olden days when I used to be an elmentary school teacher we used to have "Apple Day" and sing apple songs, read about Johnny Appleseed, recite apple poems, graph different colored apples, make apple butter, and generally be quite appley.
This year we had a different sort of apple day, but perhaps I should teach Q some apple songs just for kicks this week. On Saturday, we headed to Vashon to yet again let Papa Todd get some work done around the house (gee he's SO productive when we are not home, shocking eh?). First, we went to a friend of Mom's neighbors to gather apples:
Q trying to lug our bucket full his "ownself":
Then we headed over to a fried of Dad's from Sustainable Vashon and helped make apple cider.
Hazel took it easy:
But first Q had to visit the chickens, goats, horses and such.
Then he had to help cut and sample the apples. 
In the end we took home a big jug of our product to keep in the freezer. I will certainly look forward to sharing with some friends or family on a chilly winter's eve.

And our family loved being the beneficiaries of your "Apple Day."
We did make apple butter, applesauce, and dried buckets and buckets of apples from our productive tree!
We just heard that a chicken was found today at BP Elementary and Harry and family took it home after not being able to locate the owner. Quin would have loved seeing that!
