A new friend of ours gave us tickets to the Indiana State Fair, so we made a family evening of it. While walking around, it was if the heavens parted and a brilliant beam of light shone down on an old shack.
Jack immediately made a beeline for the building selling pure maple syrup. In another stroke of luck, it was during the free taste hours.

| Can you see how happy Jack is? |
Jack slurped up his syrup, talked with the workers and bought a few maple taps. I think he can hardly wait until February to use them on our maple trees.
We learned other valuable lessons at the fair as well. Like that the girls are probably a few years away from wanting to go on some of the thrill rides.
Although if Claire had a chance, she’d probably go. Those are her little hands trying to pull herself up to look over the side of the Ferris wheel.
