The National Maple Syrup Festival

Yesterday we went to the National Maple Syrup Festival in Medora. This is it's third year running and we had a lot of fun!

Our first trip using our GPS!


We have gotten a lot of rain lately. The fields look like lakes!

They had all you can eat pancakces. The guy making them holds records for most flipped and highest flipped. He flipped the pancakes onto your plate!


We waited in line for over an hour to board the bus that takes you out to the farm. They apparently had a shortage of buses. We finally got to the farm though!


They had a bunch of kids stuff to do. Josh got his face painted, made rope, and made a candle.



Drip drip! These are attached to the trees to catch the sap that makes the syrup.

We didn't buy any syrup ( it was a little pricey) but we did get some blueberry jam from a local vendor! It was named purple haze! We also got some salsa from him!


It was such a beautiful day out! Perfect weather for a day outside! The festival was a lot of fun! They had a lot of vendors, horse drawn carriage tours of the farm, bluegrass bands playing music, a building with food, and several attractions including a man eating chicken, an indian settlement, and settlers showing you how syrup used to be made! Good times!
