The Florida Keys

Sunday night after the races, we packed up the kids and headed to the Keys. We wanted to take a few days to celebrate the great meet Joe had at Gulfstream and relax for a few days before we had to pack up and drive back to Delaware for the summer. We had such a great time there, on our drive home Brodie announced that when he is older he plans to live on vacation.

Joe went diving off the dock, then Brodie wanted to goThen he said that he thought he saw a shark so the pool might be a better place to swim.My lazy little Luke he fell asleep floatingBrodie got some goggles that fit himand made us call him Scuba Steve for the rest of the dayLuke liked them tooWe took the boys to the theater of the Sea because we had a special surprise set up for Brodiethe Sea Lion ShowKona, Brodie's surpriseWe told him he was going to paint with KonaThe finished productKona got a little paint on himIn the Keys they have four foot Iguanas that walk around like squirrels, Brodie tried to chase themBrodie and Joe walking to their jet skiOn their Jet Skis the came across 4 eight foot nurse sharks. I asked Brodie what they did and he said "we chased them". I looked at Joe horrified and he told me "we only chased them for about twenty minutes then they got really mad". I told Brodie it was a good thing I was not with them because I would have been scared. He told me "It wasn't scary, it was cool".Luke had a permanent smile on his face the whole timeHe is the happiest, easiest baby ever. We are so Lucky

Easter

This year we had a really nice little Easter. Unfortunately Joe had to ride because it was closing day at Gulfstream park, so he missed the egg hunt. We went over to the Valez's house to spend Easter with them, and it was great because there were so many kids for Brodie to play with. He has an absolute blast.

He won his age group

On The Go

I Know that I have been slacking on the blog lately, and I apologize for that. It seems like we have been on the go all winter. Our Gulfstream meet was better than we could have hoped for, Joe's business is booming right now. Which means we have been traveling a lot for Stakes out of town. And when we are in Miami, we are constantly out with the kids because there are so many fun things to do here. So here is a little glimpse of our crazy life.

Brodie's favorite activity is riding his bike. Joe and Brodie ride bikes at the beach together on the dark days, he is really good.
