Sugary Sweet Week

The start to Tournament Week is awfully sweet at our place. It started with an outing to a local park to learn about maple sugaring. One of my favorite condiments is real maple syrup. However, I have always felt that the process that produces this tasty treat is a mystery. Well, thanks to our friends Marcus and Courtney inviting me and our other friend Ann to tag along with them, I now feel much more knowledgeable on the subject. The sweet treat at the end was making pancakes and enjoying them with our friends (and REAL syrup).

Okay, I didn't mention that we were the only people our age attending this event...
