The Keys

Whenever we get a chance we pack up the kids and drive to the Keys.  We love it down there.  It's so close, but when your there it feels like you are on a tropical island far away. 

So far this is our favorite place to stay.

 The view from our little bungalow

 My little Luke is growing up too fast

 Doesn't this look like a postcard

 The boys favorite part was being swung in the hammock

 And snuggling with daddy

 Brodie taking Joe's long board for a spin

 Luke trying to keep up

 and then trying to show him up

 This kids has the most carefree spirit that I have ever seen

 Handsome Brodie

 

 

 We got a charter boat to take us out for the day, and then talked him in to letting the dog on too

 Cruising through the Mangroves

 Always hamming it up for the camera

 We found some manatees

 And a salt water Crocodile

 another Manatee

 Luke found a little spot to take a snack break

 Brodie caught and reeled in this fish all by himself

 Luke touching his first fish

 and Max

Farm Kids

One of our favorite things about being in Florida for the winter, is getting to visit Meema and Poppie whenever we want.  The boys absolutely love the farm.  Brodie thinks that he just runs the place while he is there, and Luke is just a half step behind him.

Brodie and Luke just cruise around the whole farm in this truck.  It's so cute, Brodie yells, "Luke lets take a drive."  Luke just drops whatever he has and runs out side.

 Max is a pretty big fan of the farm too

 Brodie loves feeding the babies

 and he is getting much better on Phantrick

 Little Luke just trying to be like Brodie

 Brodie rides Phantick cautiously, Luke rides like a wild man.  He tries to post and he yells go at the top of his lungs

 Worlds greatest pony, he loves the kids

 Luke finally fits into Brodie's old boots

 Wishing he could help clean stalls with Meema and Brodie

 Every kid that comes to the farm loves these tire swings
