Fruit!

 Living at my in-laws house comes with the blessing of taking care of their orchard. Although it is a lot of work, we sure got a lot of great fruit out of it! This fall was all fruit and soccer. Literally. I made jam, pies, cobblers, and crisps - as well as canned 5 dozen quarts of peaches, 15 pints of peach jam, 3 dozen quarts of pears, 14 quarts of applesauce, 2 dozen quarts of apple pie filling, and 2 dozen quarts of grape juice. Yum! I feel quite productive!

 Emma and Micah had fun picking apples with me one day.

 My kids are so cute! I love them!

 Daniel played a big part in making the grape juice. It is soooo good!

 The kids helped a little with making applesauce, but it really was the most time consuming of all the fruit.

 This really was a good year for peaches!

 It all started in the summer with the fabulous raspberry bushes!

 For about three weeks Lea and Jonah were in charge of picking a bowl a day. :)

Now all winter long we can enjoy the fruit of our labors! Delish!
