June trip to Bonfante Gardens & the Carr's.

 

We started off the trip with a visit to the awesome Bonfante Gardens, which is designed for kids af Gabriels age and a couple years older with lots of fun small rides, and all built around beautiful surroundings and ponds and trees that were grown by Mr. Bonfante himself, in a manner unlike any other trees. He died without revealing his secrets for the unusual tree shapes (as you'll see below).

 

First off though...horsie rides!!

 

Then a spin in the strawberries.

 

This photo is not 'doctored'. This is above the maze.

 

Here's a couple of the unusually grown trees.

 

 

Gabriel's second favorite ride of all - the 'high balloons'.

 

And his favorite, the 1920's car ride, which I had to take him on 3 times as he SCREAMED when we'd get off each time!! I could feel his body tensing up as we'd reach the end each time, and as soon as I'd reach for his safety belt, he'd FLIP OUT.

 

Here he is, crashed out at the end of a long hot day of FUN FUN FUN!!

 

Reunited with his great pal Matthew Carr (a big Spiderman fan).

 

And it's off to the pool.

 

Sometimes it's the things we don't think of that are the most fun.

 

Simple pleasure.

 

Floating in the hot tub.

 

Learning how to use the water gun.

 

Happie Chappie!

 

Throwing everything he can find into the pool.

 

Picture of happiness.

 

Doin' the pool dance!

 

Daddy recovering all the toys thrown into the pool!

 

And here he is, moments before we left, sadly looking out at Mashimoto playing by the pool, knowing he was about to leave. It actually brought me to tears, to have to take him away from having the BEST of times with his buddy Matthew.

Hope to see you soon.........
