I Ride

Brodie and I were in Ocala all last week. We had so much fun there, and did so much work. Brit is in Ocala for a short while before she goes back to Tampa, so dad decided it was a good time to break all the babies. We worked all day long, and Brodie played all day long. I think that Brodie tired to ride everything on the farm, he rode horses, dogs, tire swings, moving mats, little spiderman four wheelers,golf cart.... if it moved he tried to ride it. He would just walk around spot something moving and say, "I ride that!".

Brodie was so happy everytime I got off a horse

Walking up to the track, it is so peaceful on the farm that it doesn't even feel like work

Brit has broke all the babies this year, here she is bellying up on a baby

Once they went good in the round pen we took them out to a field

Brodie took his outriding job very seriously

While I was there Brit got to take the first baby to the track, she went great. Brit is doing a really good job with the babies

Brodie mixed up all of Poppies horseshoes

waiting to ride the Polaris with the dogs

While we were on the track Brodie helped Maam'a clean stalls

He is so proud of himself when he thinks that he is helping

Riding his tire swing on the walking machine

Riding stall mats as Poppie tried to move them

I think his favorite part of the day is getting to drive during feed time

Cody is Brodie's best friend on the farm

Brodie even got to sit on his first race horse. He was so proud of himself, he knew it was different than riding his pony

Everyday while babies were getting worked with in the stall Brodie demanded to ride his pony. He never wants to get off, so I thought that if I let Phantrick gallop in the field with Brodie and I he would want off. But that back fired. Brodie just got a hysterical laugh and said "I like that". After that all of his other toys were just a little too slow.

I have never seen a kid play as hard, or go as strong as this kid does on the farm

ROAR!!!!!

This year we have had a full week of Halloween. It started last Sunday with the Newark Safe Halloween. We watched a huge parade and then went Trick or treating in Down town. It was really nice, they had all of Main Street shut down for trick or treaters and all the store were giving out candy. On the day before Halloween, Brodie wore his dinosaur costume all day at the track and then went to a costume party for kids. And finally last night, we went down to Tiff's house to go trick or treating with the girls. Brodie has had an absolute blast.

Getting candy with Kaylee

Last year the mummy dogs were such a hit that we decided to keep the tradition going. This year the kids made their own mummy dogs, even Brodie

Then they wanted to eat at their own special table

Baden was Thelma from scooby doo

And Dulany went as Daphney

Brodie was a T-REX

he walked the whole night, the girls walked a little faster than him so actually he jogged most of the night and kept calling out, "girls, girls, girls" it was so cute

He would let any hold his bucket, last year the girls stole his candy so he wasn't about to let it get away from him for a second

It was a great week, great night
