Down on the maple sugar farm

We went to Merrifield Farm in Gorham yesterday (they have maple sugar cotton candy and it's our favorite maple treat) and several different family members took photos. It's an eclectic mix of shots from our time at the farm. (G. and I also took some video ... including the muddy mess and clean-up.)

The first order of business was picking up our free ice cream topped with maple syrup.

Then we listened to a farm staffer explain the process of boiling sap in the "old days." (see video below for part of that explanation)

The oxen wagon ride.

Then G. got a hold of the camera ...

'Taffey' and 'Bell'. G. took a photo of their name plates above their stall so I'd be sure to get their names correctly.

'Cow Licks'

Hopefully Toddy won't be too jealous that G. was photographing another cat.

It's not suprise that G. likes animals, Fino was playing with them at the farm too.

Then Fino had his turn ...
