With the subzero temperatures predicted for tomorrow, we needed to make sure that the sap buckets were empty so we didn't end up having to collect ice chunks on Friday. The buckets were a third to three quarters full so it is a good thing that we checked!
Liam did almost all the bucket emptying while I lugged around the collect pails for him. We also had a special back up helper in Dino today. He lives with the family that owns the maple grove. Dino was sitting in the middle of the road upon our arrival, he kept an eye on us throughout the collection and didn't want to go home at the end instead preferring to chase our van. He must really love mapling!

| We did return Dino home before we left so he didn't get into any more trouble, lol. |
