Maple Syrup Tour!

Today we took part in a Maple Syrup Tour! We were lucky to have gone today as the syrup industry has been hit hard with the temperatures we've experienced here in Ontario and we may not have seen the reducing if we waited any longer! The tour guide told us most companies will be happy to meet 50% of their usual harvest given the weather. So it's a tough year for those in the business!

The children got to take a look at the lines coming from the trees, buckets in most big operations are not used anymore. After the tour they enjoyed a yummy pancake breakfast! Amazing weather again :)
