At the end of each winter there is the perfect time to make Maple Syrup and we traveled around our area to check them out on the Open Sugar house weekend. What a blast we had. We visited about 4 sugar houses and learned all about the process on how they get the sap from the trees to how the make the sap into maple sugar. The day was filled with fun, music, and food. Ally was so proud of her information she had learned that she made a chart for school to bring in the next day about how many gallons of sap it takes to make one gallon of maple syrup...for those of you that do not know it takes 30.

Check out that hot maple syrup...yummy, wish we had smell a blog...the air was just so sweet smellingAfter we visited the sugar houses we were inspired to make a Maple themed dinner, so we made:
Maple Pancakes, topped with warm Maple syrup
Eggs Benedict with Maple cured Ham
Baked Beans with Maple syrup
It was so much fun and a great new Tobey Family end of Winter Tradition.
