Apple Butter

Julia, Alex, and Ellie



Stirring!



Today my friend Julia came for a sleep over and we made a fort and a club and went on the trampoline and got totally soaked because it was pouring rain!! After pizza we helped mak apple butter and can't wait to try some in the morning. It has to cook in the crock pot ALL night! It took apples, sugar, cinnamon, cloves, and a tiny bit of salt.  It smells HEAVENLY!   Here are some pics of us being goofy!!! 







I'm reading the recipe on the computer

It's been 10 days since my last post and sooooo much had happened!

1.  Ellie learned to ride her bike with NO training wheels!  This was really exciting and she was super cute about it.  The first day she would ride along and sing "la-la-la - I'm so good at this!"  Mom said she was learning on the same street I did.

2. Patrick and Andrea came to visit again.  We had Patrick's birthday dinner with cheddarwurst, corn and apple pie.  Andrea is really nice.

3.  Pop was the GRAND MARSHAL in the parade.  He rode in a carriage and I called him "Pop-errela" He thought is was really fun and he liked waving to everyone.  Ellie and I got a TON of candy during the parade.

4.  We went for a family cruise.  We sailed to Horseshoe Island and stayed one night - it was super quiet and we went on a hike around the island.  It was fun to grill out and we woke up really early.  Mom made Jiffy Pop again - which is awesome. Then we sailed to Sister Bay for lunch and to pump out.  Then we anchored in Nicolet Bay for the next night.  We jumped in the water and swam - it was really cold at first but then you got used to it.  Even mom and dad jumped in.  We ate on the boat and played UNO.  Then we sailed back to Egg Harbor and had hotdogs while we sailed for home.

Today is rainy so we watched KungFu Panda and played bored games.

Peace out.

Thursday night we went to a concert with James, Colin, Gavin, and Meg.  Then we went back to Greenhouse.  Before dinner all the kids played.  For dinner we had lots and lots of spaghetti and garlic bread.  Then we played some more.  For dessert we had brownies that Ellie and I made - they were delicious with ice cream and strawberries. The strawberries were grown right here in Door Co!

During dinner, Betsy ran away.  That was so scary.  Pop found her down the road and brought her home.  Pop to the rescue!!
