NY / QUEBEC- Just Got Back!

We have been traveling fools lately! A few weeks back I told Eric we needed to get away (again).

Utah was fun, but I don't ski, so it more a ski trip for Eric while I watched Carter (hehe)

Anyways, we visited Grandma Helena first in upstate. She has an awesome new house on a lake and we wanted to visited. Plus she needed some help setting up her new TV/Sound system.

The above is Grandma Helena's house facing the lake and then her view out the windows. It's amazing!

Carter saw a lot of cows and deer on the way to and from the house. At night he would call roll on all the things we saw that day and tell them good night.. night night cow, night night deh(deer), ...etc.

Carter's favorite animal was Oreo. When he woke up in the morning he would scream OREO!!..haha

There were a ton of abandoned houses and farms strewn across upstate. They looked as if they would topple should you go up and sneeze on them. Living in California where even a boarded up house under a freeway underpass is unafordable, this seemed unthinkable to me.

We left for Canada on Sunday to visit Grandpa Johnson in Chertzy. He also lives on a lake, but is is frozen over. Below you can see the front of the house facing the lake and Bob, Eric and Carter playing on the island across the frozen lake.

Quebec was cold and snowy! Our hotel was very nice and in the center of the city. There was ice skating and lots of cool stores. Our last day there it snowed.

We had a wonderful trip thanks to grandma and grandpa Johnson. Maybe this summer we can see the east coast without the snow! More pics and videos can be seen on the dropshots link!
