It's the first weekend of Spring, and it's beautiful. The weather has been nice enough to get outside, and the kids are taking advantage. They don't want to come in, not even to eat.

On Saturday, Greg's cousin visited with her daughter, and we attended a Maple Sugar Weekend event at a local sugar shack. Even though we ate before we left, the three kids ate:
- 3 hot dogs boiled in syrup
- 3 cups hot cocoa
- 5 maple cotton candies
- 5 bowls of popcorn with maple butter
- 6 cups of kool-aid
- 8 fresh biscuits soaked in maple butter
We toured the syrup shack and watched the evaporator in action, but mostly we enjoyed the band. Mom even borrowed a fiddle and jumped in for a round of "Mairi's Wedding"... her first public performance.
When we returned home, the kids showed their cousin all sorts of fun things.... like splashing in puddles, going down the slide, and playing fire truck.

On Saturday night, the moon came the closest it has been to the earth it has been in eighteen years, and it coincided with a full moon on a clear night. It was gorgeous. I didn't get a picture, but this one is from Atsah Images.
What a fabulous start to spring!
