Step 1: Observe some turtles (and snakes - but we were too slow to get pictures of that).
Step 2. Take a picture of the turtle (a box turtle, perhaps?).
Step 3. Find a grove of maple trees and tap them.
Step 4. In a giant cauldron, boil the sap down, down, down. It takes 40 gallons of sap to make 1 gallon of syrup.
Step 5. Pour the syrup into trays to make candy.
Step 6. Eat some candy (sorry, no photos). Toddler Jeneric declared the maple candy good, but still only got one piece!

Fun outing! I like the pic with Toddler Jeneric and the cauldron :-)
Hey, I have a question for you. I haven't actually seen Toddler Jeneric in person in over a year and a half, and I have no idea as to how much a two year old can communicate or how well she understands the world, but, now that she can talk and converse with you, at least at a rudimentary level.....does she know that this blog exists?
That is, not that I expect that she would understand what a blog is, but does she have enough of an understanding to know that, somehow, these pictures and videos and text that you write about her are being transmitted around the world to various friends and family members?
I'm guessing probably not (but then I have no idea how fast kids' cognitive abilities develop). However, once she does reach that level, where she has at least a vague sense of there being such a thing as a blog, I think you should then start a new feature called "Toddler Jeneric speaks", in which you ask her if there's anything she wants to tell the Wily Jeneric blog readership, and then you transcribe it for her.
