Making Syrup

Sometimes when you are walking out the door for church and make a quick decision to eat lunch that day at the local arboretum, you get surprised by their annual maple syrup madness.

We were all surprised by the fact that real maple syrup doesn't taste very good. Give me my high fructose corn syrup and imitation maple flavoring any day. Actually, hold the syrup and give me Cool Whip instead. But keep the trees--they're nice.
