Sugaring...


All the kids sitting on a log. L-R Abby, Madison, Clare Tyler, Liam and Carter Davis, Caleb and Eldon Crossett

Madison was determined to drive this tractor. She kept asking the entire time we were there. She was satisfied just sitting on it and pretending to drive it.

We got to go to the Crossett's Maple Sugaring Activity. They gather the sap from the trees in huge barrels from tubing and put it in this amazing contraption that boils the sugar water into maple syrup. It takes about 40 gallons of sap to make one gallon of Maple syrup. The best part was dipping fresh home made donuts into the freshly made maple syrup. It tasted like HEAVEN! I loved it! Abby ended up drinking the syrup from her cup like juice. We went with the Davis, Tyler, Crossett, and Maxfield families. It was a true New England experience I am glad we were able to enjoy the Sat. before we left. Thanks for a fun time and great memories.
