Oh, Canada!

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

• A quick breakfast at the Vermont Teddy Bear Factory followed by a tour. Reagan was able to pick out a bear to take home
• A few samples of chocolate at Lake Champlain Chocolates before heading into Canada
• Lunch in the van near the US/Canada border-it was cold and damp outside
• Driving through Mount Royal Park in Montreal
• Taking funicular up the Montreal Tower in Olympic Park for another great view of the city
• Pizza at Boston's Pizza after fighting rush hour Montreal traffic
• A swim for all of the Dennie kids-Graham even took his first swim (well, he just got his feet a little wet-the water was very cold!)

Christmas Ornament Countdown: 22 Days until Christmas

In 2008, we went with the Dennies on a trip around New England.  One of our days was spent in Montreal and my blog said that it was wet and cold.  This is one of the reasons that we so enjoy blogging, because often I can not remember things about out trips but once I review the blog, it helps (some). Robby on the other hand can probably describe each of the hotels that we have ever stayed in while I seemed to have forgotten the entire city of Montreal (sorry, if I have any Canadians that read the blog!)  Here is the link from the trip and look how little my 3 kiddos were.

October 3, 2008: Funeral Crashing in Quebec!

Highlights from today: (click here for the pictures)

• HAPPY BIRTHDAY UNCLE JASON! (click here for a special message)
• An early breakfast in Montreal and then heading out to Quebec City-the drive was almost 2 1/2 hours but we didn't stop for a break
• Viewing the Montmorency Falls outside of Quebec along with a windy picnic lunch
• Driving through Old Town Quebec and seeing the Fortress, City Hall, Parliament Hill, the Artillery Park and the Citadelle
• Walking around the Fairmont Hotel where Reagan asked if this was our hotel
• Riding the funicular down to shop along the oldest street in Quebec and viewing the walls of the city
• Seeing cruise ships in St. Lawrence river and Anderson constantly asking "Nonna?" when he would see the boats, an airplane or even a bus (after I mentioned she would be on a bus tomorrow) Seeing Nonna and Pops at the airport has Anderson expecting to see Nonna and Pops around every corner
• Crashing a funeral at the Notre Dame Cathedral
• Seeing the fish and other animals at the Quebec Aquarium and playing on the playground in freezing and very windy weather
• Canadian food for supper at a little restaurant near our hotel-McDonalds
