Rock Ledge Ranch

October 2, 2010-  We ventured out to the Rock Ledge Ranch, a living history museum/farm,  where they were having a harvest festival.  It was free to get into the place, then you had to buy tickets for the little games they had.  We just wandered around and checked out the old buildings and farm animals.  We bought some candy at the little store they had, and watched a few demonstrations. 
Gracen tried out some stilts they had.
We walked up to the Rock Ledge House and one of the volunteers was making apple cider.  We stopped to see how the contraption above worked, and she made Nate come up and try turning the handle to squeeze the juice out of the apples.  It was a lot harder than it looked.  Not sure that Nate enjoyed being picked on to try it out, but the kids and I liked watching him up there!
Gracen heard a little group of people getting ready to play some music and wanted to go listen.  He could have stayed and listened for a while.
