Every year we head down to Watsonville for the Apple Butter Festival at the Gizdich Ranch. The "Amish" (quotes mine as these Amish come complete with cell phones and Blackberries) come and demonstrate the making of apple butter. The ranch has music and apple tastings and hayrides. Very fun! The kids love it and we enjoy getting outside for the day. The girls chose their pumpkins for carving including a little pumpkin for Eli. This year our friend Aletha and her son Walter joined us. Ava and Walter had a great time together. I'll be honest, taking our three kids is a lot more work than two was, but we still had some fun and got to take home a DELICIOUS apple raspberry pie!
