On thursday we headed to the Sugar Shack for our anual Sugar rush…
We go in the week when we can get a table left over from a group. There are not always all the activities, but the kids have the playground more to themselves, there are less people in line to eat and there are no crowds…
It was a beautiful Spring day and the Sap is running strong at the moment so keeping the sugar boiling is nearly a 24h/ day task…
(see those barrels of syrup there…. yummmmm)
(Sap boiling with a wood stove and the steam rises through a hole in the roof)
Every year the meal stays the same… so you can see the older pics here…
After the meal we head outside for some playing, seeing the animals and the anticipated “Tire sur Neige” or maple taffy, which is made from hot syrup being poured onto clean snow….
(That stuff is seriously dangerous… I know you can make it at home, but I would rather remain ignorant to that fact)
What a fun day and it is definitely something we all look forward to every year!
Yummm…. taffy… we went yesterday and it was CRAZY packed but oh so worth it!!! The hubby wouldn’t be able to make it during a weekday, otherwise I get how that would be so much more appealing. Though, we still had a great time. Nothing like a maple syrup sugar high to make your day complete 🙂
Simon actually took a day off work to go… I really hate crowds… lol… Maple sugar highs are among the best 🙂
