I love NY

The Matises family hit the road again! 

Oscar spent the week at Dave & Cathy's place.

Working our way down the highway, we made a stop at William Land Park's Funderland in Sacramento, a favorite from Julie's childhood. 

Kenzo loved the rides and watching the other kids...it was a sweltering day at 104 degrees - gross.

Kenzo didn't mind the heat as long as he was driving!

Almost there....

Three flights and long layovers! Kenzo did great, thank goodness. We have ourselves a good little traveler!

Finally made it to the Matises farm in Ferndale, NY!

Kenzo immediately jumped on the Twister tractor for a ride around the grounds.

No farm would be complete without "ponies!" Kenzo's new favorite word.

Max running up to see all the commotion going on.

Another "pony!"

These horses got a lot of carrots this past week!

Kenzo got some great trucks to play with while staying in NY.

I'm pretty sure he preferred the real ones, though!

A morning session at the track. Art & Lynn's horse didn't qualify for the race this time :(

The weather was perfect! A beautiful evening sky complete with rainbow.

We spent one afternoon at Lake Superior.

Kenzo and grandpa in the Le Baron - stylin'!

Donuts, donuts, donuts!

Soft serve ice cream at a roadside stand.

Yummy thin crusted NY style pizza was a big hit! 

Note the fold over technique. Eric was very proud!

A nice dinner out on Kauneonga Lake. Yeah, you try to pronounce that one.

Art, Julie, Gary, Lynn, Kenzo, Eric & Brant!

Our last night we went to Patty & Brant's house since they're closer to the airport.

Kenzo splashed around in their stream...and of course, drove the sit-down lawn mower! 

We had a fabulous dinner in their cozy home with their friend Nora. 

Candles were lit on the cake for Kenzo's favorite song - let's see if I can load the video.

Story time with Auntie Patty.

Three flights and long layovers..we made it home after another long travel day.

We had an awesome pit stop at Uncle Alan & Auntie Yuki's place for a quick dip in the pool and dinner before heading back to Tahoe.

Needless to say, someone is taking a great nap this morning from all the adventures!
