It is that time of year again…maple sirop time. In other words, time to head up north to my parents and celebrate that the sap is running. It is always a fun time and the girls always have big smiles. (and they learn something too).
Getting our names burned into wood for necklaces.
It was a perfect day for listening to the presentation in the sugar shack while sucking on maple taffy. This year’s batch was super delicious.
To top it off, all of the kids got to help their grandfather collect the sap from a many trees. They were so excited.
The morning finished up with face painting, crafts, a wagon ride and some bannock making. Smiles were worn by all.
My mom’s birthday is this week and Katrine’s is shortly thereafter so we did some present time in the afternoon. Katrine loved the earrings she got from her aunt, uncle and cousins while mom rather enjoyed her strawberry shortcake.
