As Jan's father is up visiting from Pennsylvania, we took him down to Clyde's in Mystic to watch them press the apple cider. This was the first time the kids got to see them press the cider, although we've been at least once a year. We've always made the mistake of going too late in the year, when they start pressing as needed rather than on a schedule. Right now you can see it on the weekends, at 10AM, 1PM, and 3PM. The kids enjoyed it, and got to see a steam engine at work.
Then it was on to the store to get all manner of goodies, cider, candy, apple crisp, and more. It's very crowded this time of year, as it's not that big a store, but it was well worth all the gentle pushing and shoving.
