Thanksgiving Tepees

You have heard of kids making ginger bread houses at Christmas - but what about Thanksgiving. We found this cute craft idea online.
We made Thanksgiving Tepees.
I present to you our art class.....



This is my tepee.
The girls working on their tepees.
Hannah loved painting the tepees.

Later on that day, we attended the home school Thanksgiving Dinner. The lady who heads up the dinner borrowed an apple cider press from the Adirondack museum. All of the children (and adults, if they wanted to) had a chance to wash apples, and help press them. We had fresh pressed apple cider for our beverage with supper. I think I could have drank the entire half gallon that was on our table. Just to make you drool, I also had fresh applesauce and fresh, homemade apple butter ontop of fresh, homemade bread.

Cari could not wait to help grind up the apples.
Then Hannah got her turn.
Wa la - fresh apple cider.
