James decided to tap a few maple trees on our rental property this spring, and with some advice from dear Rachel T. we ended up with about 60 gallons of sap. (which James froze at the Windmill, so we could boil it all at once. Rachel's family graciously offered us the use of their sugar shack so we could do it faster, so one Monday earlier this spring, we went boiling... :) Well, James did. I watched the kidlets in the car, and the family's home.
The boiling down of the sap.
Me and Erik - trying to stay out of the rain.
Katie playing on their swing after the work was accomplished. We got about a gallon of maple syrup which was great. A fun experience. :)
Then we went shopping in Cambridge - and got some supper - tried Katelyn out at their playplace, but it was a little over her head. :) Then homeward bound.
Is that a big enough burger for such a little boy?
