October is National Cider Donut Month


In mid-October, Grandma Chris drove up to Vermont with the Rapps for UVM's parent's weekend (and also/mostly to see a certain one-year-old). It was a quick visit, only 2 days, but we had a great time despite the rain. (of course it rained, Grandma was here, wasn't she?) We went to Shelburne Orchards and wandered around the rows and rows of apple trees looking for the Macouns until we got totally lost, and then we spent a small fortune on cider donuts.





This is roughly 45 cider donuts, which translates into about 1,243,346 grams of sugar and 4,538,234,233 grams of fat in three plastic bags. Grandma Chris is the new Johnny Appleseed of cider donuts, spreading the warm fatty goodness over the land. Or at least over the greater NY-NJ area. We hope everyone who received some donuts enjoyed them as much as we do. Even Aiden loves them, because really, what's not to love?!

The Rapps came over to our house for awhile before we all went out for dinner. Aiden and Aunt Mary played patty cake during snack time.
