Vermont Teddy Bear and local maple syrup!

Vermont Teddy Bear Company is the largest maker of hand-crafted, American-made Teddy Bears! 
Stella had a good time walking around the factory store and playing with some of the bears. 
After visiting Vermont Teddy Bear, we stopped at Shelburne Sugarworks
and had a true Vermont treat - sugar on snow (maple syrup over shaved ice), complemented with a donut and pickle spear.
The warm syrup crystallizes when reacting with the shaved ice. Pickles and plain doughnuts cut the sweetness. Yummy! 
Maple producers from around the state open their doors from March-April, allowing the public to sample and watch the process of making maple syrup.
