What a beautiful day, both weather wise and enjoyment wise. We began by running lots of errands which was hectic. We joined a group of our friends for lunch at Sharon's which the kids just love. From there we went to Westfields, a historical village. We were guided through the different time periods and how maple syrup was gathering and made during each of these times. We physcially moved from station to station which I know the kids really appreciated. Each of them enjoyed the maple syrup rely, during which they each had a turn at the different jobs (carrying the yoke, running with the sticks, pulling the sled). It was hard to leave the game of tag at the end. Although it was a long tiring day, we all enjoyed the fun and our company.
"When the wind's in the West, the sap runs best...
And when the sind's in the North, the sap runs forth.
When the wind's in the South, the sap runs drouth...
And when the wind's in the East, the sap runs least."
-Old New England Farm Song
