Cider Mill and Soccer

We always look forward to going to a local cider mill in the fall, we were definitely excited to go this year until we got there and it came time to pay for our cider and donuts. Due to the apple shortage prices sky rocketed! We paid $13 for 6 donuts and a 1/2 gallon of cider. Granted they were really good, but our trips were limited this year and we ended up only going twice.
 
Ellery and Jackson both loved the cider!

This fall Jackson moved up to playing actual games in his soccer league. The first couple games were rough with lots of crying if he missed the ball, the goal, or fell down...lots of crying! But as the weeks went on he did much better and the crying greatly decreased :) He was ALWAYS super excited to go and play!
Gerrad was the main coach and I think he really enjoyed it!
They would do 20 minutes of drills, then have a team huddle and then play for about 30-40 minutes....or until the kids had really had enough and no one wanted to play anymore :)

The last couple weeks were quite cold, but Ellery didn't seem to mind!
Jackson taking a turn inbounding the ball.
The famous pout when he didn't get to kick the ball. oh my....life is rough!
He was super proud of his cool trophy at the end of the season....and of course his snacks :)
