Cracker Barrel Fun

Thanksgiving

Making apple pies sometimes requires power tools. The handle broke on the apple corer/slicer so Paul hooked up his electric drill. Made for very quick work.

Nate enjoyed cutting and separating the apples.

Eve hung out with Oma and ate grapes while we made pies.

The best we could get of an all family picture.

Eating at Doug and Elaine’s.

At Grammy and Grampy’s for our second meal of the day. Eve loved hanging out in Grammy’s dad’s old rocking chair. It is over 100 years old. Eve also enjoyed sitting with Grandpa and eventually fell asleep on him.

Pie

Peeling apples for apple pie.

  

The really long apple peel.

  

The end result. One pumpkin and one apple pie. I was pretty proud of them. They looked pretty and tasted good. I did not make the pie crust because Marie Callendar makes better pie crusts.
