Visiting the Villa Loretto

Great Grandma Pauly lives in the assisted living at Villa Rosa (an extension off of the nursing home, Villa Loretto, where Grandma Pauly works as an RN). The facility is run by nuns and one of them, Sister Steven, has a passion for animals. So she created a working ranch that has expanded greatly over the years. So whenever we go to visit Great Grandma, we usually have to see the animals too!

Did I mention that Caleb has an obsession with cars yet? Well, that along with garages. He loves being able to ride in other people's vehicles. This time, he got to go in Grandma and Grandpa's van. He was THRILLED!

Once we got back to the Pauly house, we played Uncle Wiggly and Chutes and Ladders while Grandpa grilled some hamburgers, peppers, and zucchini. It was delicious! So was the cherry/raspberry cheese torte that we had for dessert. After lunch, we played Wii bowling and took a few photos with Great Grandma. These were the ones that turned out the best:
