It's Maple Syrup time...field trip

We got to go on another field trip last week. We went out to Funks Grove to learn how to make Maple syrup. It was really neat. They have a small area where the kids could look at reptiles and touch skinned animals. Sam says....this skunk stinks!I just thought this was funny b/c if you look close enough it says Welcome to the Nut House!Here he is drilling into a tree..Then the next step is to tap tap tap into the tree....Then you put the bucket on and wait wait wait. Actually our tree was the only one that day that any sap came out while we were there. I think it was in the sunshine warming up. Everyone else came over to ours to see it drip. Got to take some maple syrup home with us. Pretty neat trip....So glad I am able to do some of these things with him...I am one lucky mommy ;)
