Sugar Shack

Thursday night, our friends Aaron and Michelle and their kids invited us over for dinner before heading over to the sugar shack. Some people from their church tap maple trees and make syrup. It was amazing and we had a fabulous evening!
After collecting sap from about 250 trees, the boiling begins!

When it reaches the right temperature, it's transferred to another tank until there's enough to start filling jugs.

We got one of these tins filled with the "first fruits". This syrup is from one of the first batches! He had little jugs for each of the kids. Anna was pretty excited.



Of course, we had to have pancakes for breakfast the next morning with our pure maple syrup! YUM!!!
