We went to the Maple Syrup Festival again this year. We learned about syrup making through history and different cultures. We also learned about modern practices, and watched sap boil in the evaporator. We sampled syrup made in our own county...and bought some to take home, too. It was DELICIOUS!!! The girls sampled some maple candy.
Georgia demonstrated the yoke for the group.
Listening to a colonial-era interpreter about syrup making in his day, you can see the sugar shack in the background.
After our tour, we decided to go for a walk down to the beavers' pond. It was such a beautiful day for the first weekend in March!
We saw a lot of turtles out sunning themselves on such a lovely day.
And some Canada Geese as well...
We had a nice walk, definitely a nice break from winter weather.
The next day, Georgia made us some yummy pancakes! She made banana, blueberry, raspberry, and plain whole-wheat pancakes. We had a feast! And we used the local maple syrup purchased at the festival! Mmmmm.
