Sauerkraut 2013

Last weekend on Friday August 16th, I took the kids to Gma and Gpa Holub's to ride their new Ranger, while Chad was picking cabbage for our Sauerkraut Extravaganza that we were doing the following day.




 
1 truck load of cabbage!!! Holy cow do we have a lot of cabbage to do!!!  We still had another short bed truck full of cabbage also!!!  We ended up doing 165 gallon of cabbage!!! WOWZERS...when the Washburn/Clarke family say they are doing sauerkraut, they are NOT messing around!!! :)
 


 
All the helpers except for Tasha and Nash, Tasha was putting Nash down for a nap!
 
 
 
Hoyt loved to help.  He was eating the cabbage by the handfuls! :)


 
Hoyt gets into his work!!! :)


 
Kali on the the other hand played all day with her cousins!! :)



 
Cousins: Back Row: Azaria, Ivy, Reese, Kali, Maddie, Isabella, and Hoyt!  They had so much fun playing together the whole day.  Maddie even got to spend the night at our house that night.  Maddie lives in Bell Plaine so we don't get to see them as much as we would like to!!!

 
The above picture is what the Washburn immediate family will have to can in 6-8 weeks, once the cabbage ferments!  The rest of the crew took their own cabbage home!
 
It was a great day, with family getting together and working!!!  We all enjoyed a wonderful dinner that Dolores and Wanda made.  It was delicious...it was a little hard to get back to work with a full belly.  I think the cabbage started about 10 and we didn't stop until like 8:30 that night.  It was a long, fun, productive day! :)
