Rachel was hard at work when we first got there.
Jadon taking his turn, it was very windy and chilly the day we did this.
Matthew was giving it his all in turning the handle. Becca was watching to make sure that he did it right.
Thomas and Aric are taking turns at the shelling machine.
Caleb was stretching to reach the top to put an ear into the shelling machine, while Noah was turning.
Caleb and Ashlee picking up some that had fallen out of the pan, this was just part of what we did and then some that was already shelled when we got there.They all had a wonderful time and thought that it was pretty cool to make popcorn. It was very windy and chilly on Monday when we did this. The best part was when we got back to Mary's and we tried 4 different caramel corn recipes, yummy. The children didn't really care for the Gingerbread caramel corn, but they all enjoyed the regular kind. So much so that I didn't really get any. Oh well we have plenty of popcorn here at home, plus we even took some still on the cob.

Debi, even tho I grew p on a farm, with *tons* of sweet and field corn being produced, do you know I have *never* seen this process being done?
Fascinating! I assume the corn is dried upon the cob ~ is it field corn? Is it dried sweet? Curious. How cool to take home your own popcorn!! :D
