On Saturday we met our family and daughter-in-law’s family at the Marcus Ciderfest. Classic cars and trucks play a big part in the fest and parade. The mustang belongs to Uncle Scott and the Thunderbird was gifted to our DIL from her grandfather.
After the cars were parked with the other classic cars and trucks we walked over to the apple processing operations to get some fresh apple cider before the crowds arrived.
Look at that mound of apple peelings!
We found a good position on the highway for the parade. Most of the participants in the parade throw candy out to the kids along the route. Our littles were magnets for the candy throwers and got a few pounds of candy!
Smokey the Bear started things off.
Colville Station Border Horse Patrol rode in the parade.
We were eagerly waiting for Granny Great and Jim to come along in Jim’s old car.
Here they come.
They see us!
There were lots of other cars and trucks and animals and politicians but these are all the photos from the parade that I’m sharing.
Waiting for a snack.
Up close and perfectly blurry. And then he insisted on taking a photo of me.
We said our goodbyes and took our 1/2 gallon of fresh cider, caramel apple and some farm stand cookies home.
Dear started on a new house project on Saturday morning before we left to the Ciderfest. Have I mentioned we’ve been waking up really early. He had a few hours to work before it was time to go. Our guest bathroom is getting a new counter top, sink, fixtures and backsplash. Once that is all done it will get a fresh coat of paint. Saturday morning was demo time.
We had a nice Sunday morning worshipping at church and came home for a relaxing day. How was your weekend?

Some great looking cars, kids, parents, grandparents, and great-grandmother is adorable. Your grandson did a great job taking a photo!
Right back to a project…well I suppose one must stay busy with something. My project is blowing leaves this morning before the driveway is one big swish, swish, swish.
Love,
Vee
Vee, Granny Great is adorable! I’m debating on whether I should mow one last time until Spring. We mostly have evergreens so not as much leaf blowing here as we had with our maple trees!
Now THAT’S the way to spend a Saturday! Get some work done early (demo is fun!), then head out to enjoy a parade, some REALLY cool cars, and some good eats with the family!
…fun, fall times.
Your weekend sounds like a perfect fall weekend!!
The picture JJ took of you is fabulous
The cars are awesome, looks like a fun day with the family. Wonderful photos.
Have a great new week!
A fun family event! But gosh, look what happened during my lazy two week vacation from blogging — You went all the way to England and came back! I’m looking forward to catching up on the posts I’ve missed.
Sallie, I was thinking about you and your property in Florida this past week with Hurricane Ian.
A wonderful weekend, and so good to see all your happy , smiling faces 🙂 Great post Ellen!
Thank you, Denise.
Sounds like a great time was had by all.
The house project should keep you busy.
That looks like a fun festival! lbs. of candy – wow they must have been so excited. Fall festivals are the best. Love the picture of you … so fun. Dear sure is ambitious starting a big project like that. Always busy!
Rosella, This is the small project before he tackles our shower! Never a dull moment around here. Thanks for stopping by…
Looks like a fun and day…from beginning to end. What great cars! My first car was a Mustang and my brother now owns it. A 1968, navy blue. Love that you have a personal photographer with you these days.
That looks like a lot of fun!!!
