Apple Picking & Canning

We spent our Saturday morning picking the last of the apples for applesauce.
Donyea & Chanchito working as a team. :)
Bobbing for apples!  Haha!
Washing and washing and washing!
The amazing crew!
This is the final product for today (21 Pints and 2 quarts).  We only got to 1/3 of the apples...oh boy I know what I'll be busy doing this week!
Wayne made us super delicious apple pie with homemade whipped cream! =)




*Update: After four long days of hard work, we now have 55 jars of delicious homemade applesauce (11 quarts and 44 pints)! The boys have been loving it in their lunches! Kegan was so excited to share it that he already brought a jar to school for his teacher...said he couldn't wait until Christmas, he wanted to give it to her now. :)

I've found LunchBots makes the perfect to-go applesauce container - stainless steel, leakproof with a screw top ($20 for 2) ~ http://lunchbots.com/rounds-stainless-steel-food-container-blue.html
