Maple Syrup Festival

Have you ever been to a maple syrup farm? Well, Hania has! We took her to the Indiana sugarbush festival in Salem, Indiana, at one of the southernmost maple syrup farms in the country. This was a great opportunity to meet up with some of our friends from GE, and to go to an activity together as a family. There are all-you can eat pancakes (we're in line for them in the first pictures below), a lot of living history-type displays with interpretive experts there to explain how maple syrup and other foods were made by early American settlers and Native Americans. George Washington loved pancakes, by the way, but he liked them smothered in honey! He obviously had not tried much maple syrup.

Here are a series of photos we took with Hania during the festival, and then afterward, once she had collected her bounty of syrup, and smuggled it across state lines into Louisville.
