| Happy helper |

| More checking buckets |

| Emptying sap into one of the carrying buckets |
 |
| Boiling! |
 |
| It seemed like a good time for some fun sibling photos too. :) |
 |
| Awww . . . love these guys!! |
 |
| Finishing the syrup inside--late at night, thus the PJs :) |
 |
| We had two thermometers in the pot, trying to make sure we had an accurate temperature . . . |
 |
| The finished product!! |
 |
| The next day we had to make a big brunch with scrambled eggs, hash browns, and waffles--to try out our yummy, fresh maple syrup!! Mmmmmm. Definitely a worthwhile experiment! :) |

Hey there, dear friend! I've never seen that done before. Looks like a lot of memories in the making; yummy ones!
Very nice. LOVED the shots of the siblings too! I remember SO fondly when Syd and I were first married - we're going back 32 years here-- going to a sugar on snow with your church,at one of your church families, Dan... I don't know why I can't remember their last name. It was such a BLAST! Our whole church went up in my parent's van. Your photos here are such a great journal, something the children will look back on years from now!
