Maple Harvest at Shavers Creek

We went to the Maple Syrup Festival at Shaver's Creek on Sunday. All you can eat pancakes! Yum! Ryan loved the syrup, but David prefers Log Cabin. He gave his pancakes to Ryan. We learned about migrating hawks and salamanders. They boys did a really good job sitting and listening for the whole 30 minutes. She kept the hawk in its crate until the very end of the presentation. The little boy beside David kept answering her questions about migrating animals by shouting "Giraffe!". Not so sure they migrate. :-) We walked along the trail to learn about how maple syrup is made. The first stop took us back to the 1800's. The actors were all PSU students. They get a college credit for participating in this festival at Shaver's Creek. After the tour we went to the frog pond and found some salamanders.
