A Trip to the Sugar Bush



After a recommendation from a friend we loaded into the van with Heidi and drove to the Mountsberg Conservation Area to check out MapleTown! The weather was beginning to warm up so it was a perfect day for the sap to be flowing.

The boys and Heidi.
Crossing the railroad tracks to get to the bush!
We're here!
Learning about sap.
Checking out how full the bucket is.
The sap was definitely flowing!
Norah was there too!
They use plastic buckets (rather than the traditional ones) as it is easier to see how full the bucket is.
Boiling sap.
Waiting for the wagon ride.
The horses taking a break.
Yum! Pancakes!
Perfecting those self feeding skills.
Everyone enjoyed the pancakes.
Playing on the bales of straw.
They had fun but got VERY muddy!

Looks like you all had fun! And how cute is Norah sitting up in her stroller in the adorable pink suit!
