"An Apple a Day..."

Well, what do you know? Applefest time has come around again! For those of you who don't know, Applefest is a yearly celebration put on by the president of the university Dad works at for all the employees and their families. Naturally, it is grand fun and always keenly looked forward to. This year was no exception.

If the phrase, "An apple a day, keeps the doctor away" is true, I believe that our family won't need a doctor for quite some time! :D

At Applefest, you can just about eat anything apple related, except for plain apples! :P There's apple juice, apple fritters, cotton candy (and yes I know that's not apple-related! :P) and even some veggie hot dogs. (Not to mention the VERY yummy apple pie!!!!!)

You can get balloons, get your face painted, see some tricks, and hear some really good guitar music. This year there was even some blacksmiths there, that you could watch as they performed their craft! Alison's favorite part was where you could jump up really high in a harness....over and over again! Of course it's a lot of fun talking to different people as well.

ANYWAY, so here are some pictures I took this year, hope you enjoy them! :D

^^Alison expectantly waiting to help make apple juice. There was a real apple juice machine there, where the people manning it would put apples into a container, which would chop it up, and then a person would push on the apple chunks and make the juice, which was put in containers for people to drink. :) See next few pictures.
