We went to the Saugeen Bluffs Maple Syrup festival today! The kids had a blast enjoying the farm animals, and we got to enjoy some maple syrup taffy too. We didn't stay too long - such is life with little ones - but we did get lots of great pictures!

The weather was FANTASTIC. A bit chilly, but bright warm sun and no wind. Perfect!

Kat and Daddy on the bus down the big hill:

Mommy and Patrick on the bus:
Walking along (I love butt shots):
Still walking:
Kathryn has no fear of animals at all - its great! This little lamb was trying to eat her shovel. Kathryn loves that little yellow shovel. It has been all over the place with us!

Checkin' out the mules with mom:
And the sheep with Daddy. There were also Llamas!
Patrick riding a tractor. He cried when we said it was time to move on.

But quickly brightened with a ride on the swings! Here the kids are having a quick water break between swing sessions:
Yahoo for a slide! It sure made me miss our park even more. Melt snow, Melt!

Some ducks:

And piglets:
Patrick wasn't so sure about most of the animals, but he liked these ones because they were caged (and couldn't... well... eat him I suppose!). He also got to hear a calf "moo" and thought that was fantastic!
