Pinney Family: Johnny Appleseed Day

Johnny Appleseed Day

Last Friday was Johnny Appleseed Day. Braden & Sienna's classes were celebrating by doing various apple-related activities, including making applesauce. We missed that day because we were in SoCal visiting family and the kids were very upset. So, thanks to Aunt Linda and Grandma Shirley, we celebrated ourselves and made some of our own delicious applesauce with a little pear thrown in just for fun. Happy birthday Johnny Appleseed!!
