Tapped

Ryan and William got our trees tapped just in time for winter to hit.




The sap started running again late last week, and Ryan took 50+ gallons Saturday to be boiled down into syrup.

I think over the last year, our family alone has gone through over two gallons of the tasty liquid. Seems like a lot for a family of six- but then they like it on all their breakfast foods...pancakes, waffles, eggs, bacon, sausage.  weirdos.

We only have one maple tree...think that would do any good? We are maple-syrup-aholics around here too. The girls tell Kyle they like the kind "from a tree" while he eats the kind "from a machine." :)
