We got a chance to go up to Calvin Crest recently. We have worked up there off and on for several years and love the area. This particular trip was nice because we got to experience a couple of our favorite things about camp, apple picking, and fall colors. Calvin Crest was fully dressed for fall and the colors were wonderful. Joining us in this adventure was family friends the Gists, the Nickells, the Starbucks, and Sarah. We started by picking apples and visiting, which was nice. Especially watching the kids run around and hang out together. Then we proceeded to make cider, which was a hard and involved task. Joel, Isaac, and I took turns running the cider mill with occasional help from a couple of other people and it was a workout. The kids were great helpers and enjoyed washing apples in the tub and filling the hopper. Altogether it was a great trip!
Sorry for out of order pictures, we are experiencing technical dfificulties.
Emery enjoyed trying to eat the apples.
