We decided to pretend that it actually felt like spring out there and take to the outdoors! Yes, the Ballards went on a Maple Syruping adventure at Indian Creek Nature Center with our friends, The Frames. The kids actually got to help "tap" the tree for syrup. It just came running out and then they went on to show us how they make it into syrup. An enlightening experience! You see Brayden getting ready to taste a drip from the tree in the picture...It is basically 98% water, 2% sugar...and it really didn't taste like much of anything. But when I asked Brayden what it tasted like he said "Mmm...Maybe like chocolate!" That's our little sweet-tooth using his imagination I guess! He was thrilled at the end of the day when we got to try some real syrup on ice-cream!
