Babusia Comes to Visit

 Babusia has been so super helpful and accommodating to make her plans to visit us when we travel on our long trips. This year, we timed it well so that she could get some of her dental work figured out and watch Pepper while we were gone for TWO weeks in New Zealand. We are always grateful for that as I know it gets pretty difficult for her emotionally to visit us for longer than a month. 

I made sure to take mama to the beach. It was just me and her and a fun day out on a beautiful North Carolina beach, with a shrimp dinner to finish it off. 

Babusia is a fashionista of the beach-haha. She loves her long walks along the ocean.

Alex also took Babusia to the Apex Nature Park to do some disc golfing. Yeah.... that was definitely not my or her forte-hahaha. 

A few of the days while she was here were enveloped in the story of the black snake that seriously kept coming back into our yard and freaking everyone out, especially Babusia! I mean, first Mark and then Alex had to get it with a shovel and fling it over the fence into the woods. Pretty sure it was the same one. 

I mean who wouldn't get startled if you came out to sit down and relax at the bistro table and saw that a massive black snake was sitting there instead??? And it was looooong.

We went out to eat as Babusia loves cafes and restaurants. 

And Robert (and perhaps the boys as they look so exhausted) made us Mother's Day dinner as we celebrated Mother's Day a week later. We came back from New Zealand on a Saturday and were very jet lagged to do anything special. 

For celebration of the special day, Robert made us LOBSTERS! They were absolutely amazing! I love lobsters but they are way too expensive to purchase at the restaurant. Lobster rolls are my favorite thing ever too. Robert did an fantastic job! Here is his Instagram worthy pictures of the process of making lobsters. 

And thus ended Babusia's visit to our modest abode. We are glad she was able to help us with Pepper and get her teeth taken care of, as well as eat a the yummiest lobster ever! Babusia is so brave and totally feels comfortable traveling on her own all over the world.

Till next time! 

Lyana.
