Maple Sugaring in Vermont

Vermont Trip!
Mom and Elsie

The 3 girls in purple
A trip to the Rock of Ages Quarry.


Grandpa helping Andrew with his shoes.  Andrew and Jack got to go on tractor and truck rides with Grandpa.

Elsie drinking from her own cup!

Elsie and Aunt Julia

Maple Sugaring the "traditional" way.



Grandpa making the syrup.








Sap is running!  There was a great 3 day run during our week long visit.



Stephen went on several loads every day.  We took the boys out on one of the loads.


They were still a little young to fully get into it but i am excited to do it in the years to come with them.

Elsie came out too:)


The gathering rig.


The boys having their first taste (and second and third:)!


The barn Grandpa Towne and his father built.



Stephen made this amazing hay tunnel for the boys that they ran around with flashlights.

Oh my goodness, I seriously LOVE the pictures of Stephen carrying Jack in the Ergo while sugaring. What fun! The three girls in purple are adorable :D
