Sugaring, Take 2

Well, making maple syrup is a strenuous business.  You have to get that sap boiling and then....well, you watch it boil....and boil, and boil...

So what do you do while that sap is boiling?

Serious conversation:

 Oh, those willy leprechauns got Lily:

 Play baseball:

 How many  balls do you need?

 Just hang out:

 Play hide-and-seek:

 Geek out and find some aquatic insects, hello little Tricopteran:

 Get stuck in the mud:

 Do some swinging:

 Uh, oh, the leprechauns got Liam too:

 Play some sticks:

 Read some books:

 Take a nap:

 Oh, boy, its ready to move!

 The final boil down inside:

 Taste-testing:

 There is some beautiful maple syrup:

 Liquid gold:
