We visited Cooper's Farm in Windham with Owen and his dad on Maine Maple Sunday (March 22nd). It was a gorgeous day and we all enjoyed great company, tasty treats, all the animals, and the mud and ice!
Here, Leah is fascinated with the steam produced by the syrup boiling process. Did you know that it takes approximately 40 gallons of raw sap to make one gallon of maple syrup? No wonder the stuff is so expensive!
Owen and Leah both had seconds on ice cream. However, when I asked Leah which she liked better, eating ice cream or walking in the mud puddles, she exclaimed, "Mud Puddles!!!"
We walked up the dirt / mud road to see the cows, tractors, peacocks, and ostriches. Once she got the hang of it, at each puddle Leah paused and said with a grin, "Leah see how deep this puddle is." She entertained many other visitors in the process.
Along the way, there was a frozen stream that attracted lots of kids. I stayed on sure ground, but Owen, Leah, and the dads couldn't get enough of the slipping and sliding.
