Maple Sugaring

Yesterday we went on a little outing to New Hampshire to a Maple Farm. We had a great time once we made it (40 minutes late)... gabbing like crazy to your navigator is never a good thing! We ate an amazing breakfast with fresh, pure maple syrup in this totally rustic restaurant, then had a little tour on maple sugaring. Notice we are still in jackets and lots of layers, booo!

Here is part of our group

 
We found out that it taks 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup. So much work!
It was so nice to get out of the city for the morning and hang out in the woods. Once we got close to the farm, you can see that half the town had little taps on trees in their yards. So  neato.
