Maple Sugaring Festival (03.26.2006)

The family went to the Maple Sugaring Festival at Camp Milan. This was a Girl Scouts event where Girl Scouts and their families went to see how sap from a maple tree was transferred into maple syrup. It was very interesting, and Anita received another fun patch for her Brownie vest.


Fai ... if you're reading this, I thought of you when I saw this!


Michael found this sign along the walking trail. Dunno if he actually hit the spot! ;O)

The kids on the trail.


One of the "wives" is stirring the sap and letting it evaporate to create the syrup. Did you know it takes 40 gallons of sap to create one gallon of maple syrup? Now, you know.
