It's Maple Syrup Time

Today we went to a Maple Syrup Festival at the Mountsberg Conservation Area.  We had a blast.  They had about 700 trees that they tap.  That's not a lot, but its enough to learn about it.

We got to watch them boil down the sap to make the syrup.

We then got to try some of the syrup by eating some really great pancakes.

We then got to go to the Raptor Center that's there.  They have raptors that cannot be released back into the wild.  James loved learning about the birds.

It was a wonderful day.  A bit cold, but not freezing.  I would like to go again when it's a bit warmer.
