Last month, we drove down on a Saturday to Fort Stevenson State Park for their "sugaring off" event. The park rangers gave talks about the process of collecting sap from trees, and had a few trees tapped so we could get an up-close look. I love how Bridgette is not afraid to wiggle her little body to the front of a crowd so she can see . . .
A local farmer brought his horses and cart to offer rides around the park. It was just warm enough to enjoy being outside!
A boy scouts group was cooking pancakes and sausage with . . . homemade maple syrup, of course!
This was the best look we had at the actual sugaring off process, which wasn't really in full swing, but we did get to taste some samples of the syrup after being boiled for different lengths of time.
And then we went and explored the park . . . more beauty than we expected to encounter!
