U.S SHOPPING

Last weekend we decided to take the kids shopping in the U.S of A. We had so much fun! We all drove down to Burlington, Vermont. We did a bit of shopping there. Yes Mom...I made it to my favorite store--Bath And Bodywork's. I love that store so much, I think that I was in it for two hours!! They always get new things and I just have to check them all out. And of course, the girls who work there are just adorable! When coming out of that store, I smellllll lake a newww women. hehehe

We then took the ferry across to Plattsburgh. The kids loved taking the Ferry, as you can see by what Sarah is wearing the day was a bright and sunny one. We hit the TJ Max store which always makes both Sarah and I leave with a HUGE smile and even huger bags. We found shoes, sandals, and cutesy new summer clothes for Sarah. I also found a Kathy Van Zealand purse that couldn't leave without. (or is that live without?hehehe) Nick and Mitchell also found some treasures.
After filling our faces with Friendly's, and of course we couldn't do Friendly's without the Sunday's!! Nick took us to a beach that had the most amazing view. The weather that day was in it's 20's. But we were all very surprised to see just how high the water is this year. If you look at the pictures normally you can go down the stairs and walk the beach, but the water was up past the stairs.




For some reason the grass always looks greener in the States, and the water bluer. We stayed the night in Plattsburgh, so the kids could do a bit of swimming in the hotel pool. We all had a really fun time, only wish that family could be closer so that it could be enjoyed with you all. Sarah always makes a comment about having her cousins closer. We think of you all at least once a day. Just had to toss that in...it is import to let you know you are always in our thoughts, and definitely in our hearts.
