Karter (5) and Kaden (3) were wonderful helping put apples in the buckets for Papaw.

They kept working while Daddy Kristoffer had the cider flowing.

The boys just adore David, and he's really good with them.

David's fiance Brook found a woolly worm for the boys to play with...

...which easily distracted Kaden from the job at hand.

Helping Mama Dana squeeze the cider through the straining bag...

Yummy!  After all that work, you gotta have a fresh sample!

Kelsey and Kassie (11 months) helped by being sweet little babies and chattering and smiling at us from their stroller confines.

Brook works as a nanny, so entertaining these girls was right down her alley.

An active baby like Kelsey will only tolerate the stroller for so long before she demands her freedom.

Of course, Kassie was certainly NOT going to be satisfied in the stroller once her sister escaped!

Making 24 gallons of cider is a lot of work. 

Thank goodness we didn't have to do it alone.  We had...

...Papaw's little cider helpers.
