Making life a little sweeter still....


How we love maple syrup at our house. The kids put it on their yogurt for snacks, have it on their "Pop's Pancakes" almost every morning and try to convince mom to add it to just about anything else they can think of!

Since we have turned our house into more of a construction zone than a home, we have been staying at my Mom and Dad's for the last month. Since mom and dad have lots of woods around their house we thought we would take advantage of the warm weather we've been having and try our hand at making our own maple syrup. We have been busy tapping the trees, checking them everyday and have finally been able to work on boiling the sap down to syrup. We have more to do!

Gathering the supplies.


Let the tapping begin!
