Susannah Takes Canada by Storm

The Aplins made it out of the country as a family for the first time, barely. After being reassured by Delta that we could get our child out of the country with only a birth certificate and not a passport, we were stopped at JFK on 9/11 and told that everyone needs a passport to travel to Canada. By air, that is. So we rerouted through Burlington, VT, rented a car and easily passed through the border to the land of maple leaves. We didn't get to visit Montreal as we had planned, but we did get to check out Burlington - quite nice - and enjoy a pleasant, quick and easy road trip up to North Hatley, Quebec, where Papa and Jill awaited. Toddler shenanigans ensued. Below, S struts her stuff in the garden of the house that Papa and Jill rented for the week.

Committed to the playground, no matter where we go.

The part of her favorite dance where she orders everyone to "go crazy! go crazy!"

We fed the ducks saltine crackers. We danced the peanut butter stomp. Susannah stuck her head out of her princess tent to find she was nose to nose with a chipmunk! Pretty good week for a city girl. And the adults had that fine patisserie at the end of the driveway. I think we will see North Hatley again!
