Jaxson is working so HARD!! You can see in back of Jaxson the sugarcane is very tall. Then we have the bath tub if the kids want take a bath, there is a spot on the side where you build your fire so the water stays warm or hot. Caroline was feeding the goats out of her hand and our puppy decided that she likes the goat pellets. Jaxson, Nathan, Caroline and Harrison take a break and enjoy some sugarcane. Jaxson and Harrison love to chew on the cane sticks, they do it all the time. They are getting excited to help make the syrup. I was joking about the tub, it is the kettle that they make the syrup in. Making cane syrup is a lot of work because you have to juice the sugarcane , they have this redneck thing build up that will juice the sugarcane, once it is juiced then you cook it. It take between 5 and 8 hours to do a batch of syrup and I think they said it would make about 8 gallons of syrup a batch. You have to stir the syrup the whole entire time as well. No breaks or standing in making cane syrup.
