Johnny Turns Twenty-Six

Johnny's birthday was on Saturday, and to celebrate his birthday and the first day of fall, we went to the Louisburg Cider Mill!



The weather was beautiful.  We were apparently fortunate to miss the Cider Festival because there was a giant electric sign on the road warning of slow traffic due to the Cider Festival next weekend...in a town of what seemed like fifty people.  Phew.

We ate apple cider doughnuts-Johnny's favorite.

And I took this picture right before I saved some children from sticking twigs into outdoor electrical sockets. The mom said, "Oh! I couldn't see because they were behind the pole!"  or she was just playing with her iPhone.

Johnny's big present was a beer making kit.  He is very excited about it.  

Now the "wort" just has to sit in the basement for two weeks, then get bottled and sit for two more weeks.  Come on over in a month for some good beer.  I'm trying to convince Johnny to use chalkboard paint on the bottles so everyone can write their names on their bottles...but I think it might be a little too Pinteresty for him.

On Sunday we got to sit outside and enjoy the weather.  And by "sit outside and enjoy the weather" I mean trade off sleeping on the quilt because Lila hasn't been sleeping through the night.

But we still love her.
