Cider, Snails & Acorns

Last week just before the weather turned (it has been cold and rainy all this week), we enjoy yet another sunny day at the cider mill. This time we were joined by both Gammy and Nana. We didn’t go to our normal u-pick farm but rather a historic mill along the river. It has a very different atmosphere. The kids played on the rocks, found snails and clams in the stream and dared each other across a rickety bridge. The highlight came at the end as we discovered very unusual acorns in the parking lot. We collected lots of fuzzy Gnome Hats (acorn tops) for our nature table.
