Acorn Cottage, Fly Away, and goodmail

Ferry to Vermont.

I am doing much better and have been since I awoke this morning. We headed out the door early so we could get across the border easily and without huge lines. Getting off the island was the hardest part of the trip, but once we crossed over the bridge it was smooth sailing. We are now officially proud owners of a cabin, or as they say here "a summer cottage." Personally it sounds a bit snooty when you say it like that. We are officially naming it "Acorn Cottage". The ground was covered with acorns on our first couple of visits and that's how we got the name. The squirrels have since collected most of them, because when we arrived at the cottage today, their were only a few left on the ground.

After we spent a few hours at our place, we took a ferry across Lake Champlain from NY to VT. We drove our car onto the ferry and were able to get out and walk around. We had a great time with the girls, they were well behaved and, well, just a lot of fun. The funniest thing was the wind was blowing so hard it kept blowing Craig's collars up in the air. I thought it was hilarious, but check out the video and decide for yourself! They just looked like wanted to fly away!

If you didn't think it was funny - I totally understand! After the ferry, I took 9 pieces of goodmail to the post office and sent them for half the price I would if I was sending them from Canada. I actually have more to send, but that's all I was able to get done for today. We ate at Chilli's and then headed home. By the time we arrived home, both girls were coughing a lot, so I'm hoping they don't get worse. But - tis the season for colds.

Here's some more pictures of our day:

I love how this picture of Nini came out. It was one of those moments you just happen to capture. Anyway, she's my faces girls. Whenever I try to take a photo, she's always making silly faces. So this was quite the treat to capture this.
