Girls make applesauce while guys build

While the guys were building a play set the girls made applesauce.  Carrie and Bayleigh came over on Sunday and we started chopping and cooking down the apples.  I then showed her how to strain the apples with my mixer. In the end we canned 13.75 quarts of sauce.  Some were raspberry flavored and some with cinnamon flavored. She reserved an additional 2 quarts of applesauce to make apple butter. Obviously we can't do that in a day so I gave her 4 of my jars and I will make her apple butter as she doesn't have the capability to do that at her house. When we finished cleaning up we went over to see the progress on the playset.  Everyone was amazed at the progress each other had made.



Bayleigh was delightful all day.  She kept herself busy playing with an assortment of things and just being all around cute. 
After we were all done we went outside to trim up the swiss chard.  If you look very closely you will see a grasshopper in front of Bayleigh. She was amazed with it......until it jumped and fluttered in front of her and flew to the screen. She levitated and screetched.  Her words..."that scared me".  She was still amazed with it though and wanted to see it again.
