Apple Butter Day






On Halloween weekend we traveled to Philadelphia, PA to participate with the Stratton Family (Molly's Mothers Family) in the tradition of making Apple Butter. Last year this was Ainsley's first trip to meet her Webster Great Grandparents as well as cousins and extended cousins. This year although the group was smaller in number we had a very enjoyable time. Ainsley traveled very well for being 15 months old and having to sit in a confined space for two hours! Friday we spent the morning visiting with Molly's Grandmother and Ainsley had great fun playing with the "toys" from Great Grandmom's house. She never got tired of the flour/water mixer or the measuring cups that are probably older than Molly! Saturday was filled with cutting and cooking Apples. It was another gray day but thankfully it was significantly warmer this year. Ainsley has now been to the farm three times and we have yet to make it to the barn or ride a tractor but we did get some very nice pictures with Brent's camera. So I realize these pictures are overdue but so is life!
