Chapter 7

The snow has started to let up and dry up a bit. One day it snowed again and Pa kept calling it sugar snow and he went to Grandpa's. When he got back he had cakes and a bucket of dark syrup. It was maple syrup and Grandpa makes the sap from maple trees into syrup and candies. Pa explains how he does it and then tells the family that they are going to Grandpa's next week and there will be a dance party. Ma was excited about that because she has a wicked awesome dress that some expert made before they moved to the Big Woods.

Response- It was really interesting to learn about how maple syrup was made 140 years ago!
