One traditional activity to do in New England during the spring is to go to a maple farm. Most people go to Parker's in NH, but on Saturday we went to Turtle Lane Maple Farm in North Andover. It is smaller, but operated by a family in their backyard. They've built a sugar house and were boiling sap while we were there. They gave a great tour with lots of samples and explained the process of making maple sugar, syrup, cream, candy, and ice cream. I was converted to the maple cream (aka maple butter), so of course we had to buy some.

Chris went to Maple farms on his mission and has always told me how great they are.
Your coat and hair are so cute. I should take some style advice from you. Also, thanks so much for the class advice!
