Last Weekends Fun!

Last weekend I found a maple syrup festival up in Hebron to go to, we ate our fair share of maple syrup cotton candy!There was also this great business who builds 1700 era barns (SO BEAUTIFUL), they had some super fun! Here is Riley making a tool box (for free)! And Jake making his! Fern got to make a little peg board to hang in her room (for free too!!)The boys are in love with these!
There was also a Revolutionary War Solider we got to see but I'll put those pictures on the schooling blog!
Here is Dan drooling! Dan loves to work with wood and would love to have more tools and have someone to learn from!

They also had a blacksmith shop where three generations where making hooks for the kids to see. And they each got to take one home! (for free, can you tell that is my favorite!)


Hot, Hot!



It was really fascinating to watch!

Then we got to go to a small maple sugar farm! The sap was really pouring out!

This was the loveliest, warmest part of our whole day! And it smelled good! :) We of course got to sample and we also bought some and enjoyed it on our pancakes Monday morning!!This is what Fern thought of the day! She was pooped, and cold! So she is in between the outer and the lining of Dan's jacket, then both of her blankets on top! :)

I am backed up on pictures so watch for more posts ASAP!

  1. Fern's such a cutie with her thumb permanently affixed in her mouth.

    Fun pictures! I love the smell of wood! Dan would have loved my grandpa. He had a wood shop and was forever making things out of wood. My grandma tried to give away all his tools to the grandkids when he died, but none of us knew what to do with them.
