Learning to Make Syrup

We went with our homeschool group to one of the local parks to see how Maple Syrup is made. It was VERY cold but also lots of fun and very interesting. The kids got to see how the trees are tapped and then they got to practice drilling a hole into a log just like they would if they were actually tapping a maple tree. At the end we were shown how the sap is actually turned into syrup and we got to sample some of the syrup that was made at the park.
