Meet Gabe, an almost-two-year old who’s full of energy! When I laced on my running shoes to meet Gabe and his parents at the Katherine Fleischer Park, I hoped to be ready. This charmer climbs, runs laps, and loves to get thrown up, up, up in the air.  Oh, wait, what’s that?- a quiet moment of sitting still? Oh, yes, Mom has just pulled out one of his favorite books. And then it’s good to slow down and give your favorite monkey a hug. Gabe, after exploring every inch of that park, I trust you slept well that night.
