Rachel's Ramblings

If you go down in the woods today... you're not going to be alone!

The wooded areas around us were filled with people today as  tourists flooded into Elmira and the surrounded bush to celebrate the running of the sap at the Elmira Maple Syrup Festival.  The CEF Storyhouse Trailer was running at the Festival (my Dad was helping out!) so our little family and my Mom headed down to the festival to check out the fun.  It was so crowded that it was difficult to push the stroller!   I have to admit that the event, which I thought would be enjoyable for the children, turned out to be less then ideal due to the gross number of people there.  None the less we were able to enjoy some of the flavours, including fresh apple fritters and GIANT dill pickles!
