Today we went to the Maple Syrup Festival at Purple Woods Conservation Area. As we drove in a employee showed us where to park. So we did, and then got out. First we walked over to the entrance and paid to visit. Then we walked over to many areas which talked about the history of maple syrup. I learned many interesting facts. Then we went to a Pancake & Beverage Shop at the festival. There was also a learning place and again I learned many interesting facts. Around that area was a horse and wagon ride. So we decided to go and I took a video of it. After that we followed the trail to a place that I DID NOT LIKE!!! It was a cabin full of animal skins and furs. DEAD ANIMALS, Oh well, I got over it and after that we started to head back . It was a short trip, we were only gone 2 and 1/2 hours, but we have to get prepared for a party today ( 14 people are coming here). And it should be starting any minute now. So, goodbye!
