Visiting Gaby's House

 We were lucky to be able to visit Gaby in both May and July this year. Both trips were awesome! Robert LOVES the horsey in her basement, so we spent a lot of time both trips downstairs playing horsey and rescue. 

Gaby took Matthew, Robert and I to Burke Lake to ride the train and the merry-go-round! It was such a fun time. Thank you, Gaby!

Matthew's first train ride was a hit!

Robert getting a little too comfortable.

After riding the train we went over to ride the merry-go-round. Robert and I were the last ones to get on, so sadly he didn't get a horse. He was very sad about this but we managed to still make the bench fun. When we got off the young guy working the merry-go-round said that Robert could have another turn and this time on a horse. It was the kindest thing. The worker definitely didn't have to do that and I told him thank you so many times. Robert was very happy and it was really sweet.

Gaby made ice cream with Robert. It was chocolate and so yummy and very rich. Matthew also enjoyed a taste.

We went to the pool! I didn't get a picture but Robert had fun jumping in and playing in the little pool. 

Gaby made Robert a wonderful birthday meal and I got into a lovely habit of having a corona on the back porch around 2pm every afternoon during the boys naptime. It was a treat for sure!

A very friendly and chatty UPS worker let Robert checkout his truck. He was so kind of him. Robert thought it was very cool. Gaby and I definitely got some good laughs after chatting with the guy. He was very forth coming in his stories.

It was nice to have time to just relax together around the house.

Matthew even got to ride the famous horse in the basement. Robert played on this horsey everyday!  Every morning he would ask if he could go right away downstairs to ride on his horsey. Gaby got a cowboy hat and Robert enjoyed wearing that while he played. He would play that he fed the horsey, brushed his mane and then would ride him to rescue people (often me sitting on the treadmill). We had so much fun! It is always special when we have time with Gaby. Both these trips were so wonderful!
