Apple Festival

It's Labor Day weekend and that means only one thing in our town.  It's time for the North Carolina Apple Festival.  The festival is a local tradition.  Everyone in town, goes to Main Street and walks up and down visiting, listening to the music, and eating as many apple products as possible.  We were lucky this year to find our friends as Lyda and Sons Farm who shared some of their wonderful products with us.   Abram and Katie both ate several apples.  They also had a fruit sipper full of cider.  The kids had a good time watching all the people walking by and listening to the very bad square dance caller. 

 
Once we got a bag full, it was a battle who could take one bite out of the most apples.  We had to take the bag away pretty quickly.

 
Notice the red cups, they were full of very tasty apple cider.

the caller wouldn't have been horrible if he had just stuck to making the square dance calls. but when he decided he should be singing the songs too, oh dear.
