March 21-23 at Grandpa Caveney's Cabin

We went up to visit Grandpa Caveney on Good Friday. As always, we ate very well (sharp tail and grouse) the whole time. As has become tradition, we spent part of Saturday boiling down sap to make Maple Syrup. Unfortunately, because this has been a slow/cold spring - there was not much sap to boil. The trees were not running at all that day (the only sap we had to boil was some that Ned had saved for us during the week before we came). Nevertheless, I did get my sweet hot tea and several boiled eggs. It was a good time. Sienna wasn't too sure about the snow (and gave up trying to walk in it after a while). Grandpa colored eggs for Sienna the day before we came to visit, and he hid them around the room for her to find. It took a little while for her to grasp the idea, but she did eventually catch on that she was supposed to be looking for these eggs. At first, she refused to throw them into the basket, but, instead, insisted on throwing them down on the hard wood floor (see vidoes). Luckily they were hard boiled!
