This is one of our favorite weekends of the year. For me it's always signified the beginning of Spring. Not this year, of course it was still one of my favorite things to do but there was something lost this year. Instead of clumping around the farm in out rain boots to keep out the mud, jackets open and eating maple sugar candy outside, we were all bundled up because it was only 25 degrees outside in snowsuits, freezings our butts off as we tried to take Simon to see the cows in the barn.
We go to Harris Farm every year on Maple Sugar Weekend, they do a delicious pancake breakfast and open their sugar house for everyone to see them boil down the sap they collect from the trees on the farm and everything is so yummy and smells delicious. This year was still really fun, just also really cold. Simon was scared of the cows, we couldn't get him within 30 feet of a live cow, so we just watched from a distance. He loved the sugar house and the steamy smell of maple syrup. We came home with full bellies and a very tired kiddo, but what a fun morning. I don't know that spring is right around the corner in our neck of the woods, but winter holds some pretty fun things too!

Pancake Breakfast! YUMMY!
