February and March always seem like incredibly dull months. It's too cold to go outside, sometimes there is snow, sometimes there is not, you are stuck inside without a whole lot of sunlight and you are just about to go stir crazy when......SPRING ARRIVES!!!! I love spring. I love the idea of the earth coming back to life and seeing all the green, but most of all....THE SUN!! Oh, how I have missed that wonderful, bright, round thing in the sky. We get to get out of the house a little more, clothes are not as heavy, and that fresh breath of spring air just clears the wintery blah right out of you!
Jacob, I and some friends ventured out into the still kind of bittery weather to the Sugar Camp days at a park close to us. It showcased tapped Maple trees, horse carriage rides and yummy maple syrup! The kids had a blast learning about how the syrup was made, but it wasn't as interesting to them when they found out there was popcorn and a playground. You then could ask what we just went to see and not one answer was about maple syrup. Maybe next year....Here's some pictures from our trip:

| This guy was amazing! He carves bowls and trays out of wood and the end results are beyond breathtaking. |
