Saturday at Apple Butter

On Saturday we got up at 4:00am because my Uncle made us go and help start the fires. We were there for 30 minutes before somebody that we knew asked if we wanted to go help bake donuts, sticky pecan buns, and cinnamon rolls at our aunts place. All three of us love to bake so we said sure. In the morning it was very cold so we also wanted heat. When we got there we started making cinnamon rolls, then helped put the pecans on the sticky buns and then fried the donuts in the fryer. My aunt has a business so she has a lot of very professional appliances. When we were done baking our 2nd cousin came to pick us up and the breakfast foods to take back and deliver. We got to eat first because we made the food. After breakfast we helped stir the apple butter. Then it was time to start a game of capture the flag. I helped hid a groups flag by sitting on it. My cousins and I were sitting in a hay bailer. A hay bailer is a machine that bails hay. Nobody knew we were in there until after somebody got the flag for the other team and then we still kept it a secret because we just walked out with the flag in our hand and they didn't know where it was. After capture the flag we went and had lunch. After lunch it my cousins and I chose to go back to the farm house and take naps and do homework until it was time for dinner. We came back for dinner and after dinner it was time for the shotgun tournament and my cousins and I won the tournament. In the tournament they shot clay disks up into the air using a machine and my cousins and I worked together to win. Then after the shotgun tournament it was time for the hayride. On the hayride the driver picks somebody new to drive and I was chosen to do it and I was allowed to bring my cousins along because one sat on either side of me and they helped drive. Finally it was time for more night games this time all we did was play ghost in the grave yard and I won. At the end of the night my cousins and I had to help clean the big kettles that the apple butter is made in. We finally were able to go home and do more homework. Allison, Cate, and I were all so tired we fell right in bed that night. nex time I will be talking about Sunday at apple butter. See you soon.
