We went to California Woods today with Jonathan's preschool class to learn how to make maple syrup. It was a little chilly but Jonathan was prepared...snow pants, mask and all! He even shared his extra pair of gloves with his friend Lola. Jonathan was lucky and got to be the very first person to drill into the tree. He will tell you that you need to drill at a slight angle up so that the sap can flow out of the tree. The kids then got to try the sap, which Jonathan didn't like and said it was bitter so I had to try it to see. Sure enough, it is bitter. We then learned about how they cook it and got to try more at different stages of the process. We then went inside to do a craft and while the rest of the class was on the one side of the room, Jonathan was at a table in between Gracie and Lola!
