Michael and I took the girls to Florida for the week for some good quality family time together after he and I returned from Denmark. The weather was wonderful and we had a great time hanging out with my Dad and Cindy (thanks for everything!).
Bradey is working on training "Eli", yes, he's named after Eli Manning. He was born last year when the Giants won the Superbowl. His older brother, Peyton, was born the year that the Indianapolis Colts won the Superbowl.
Dad brought my Daisy Red Ryder BB gun ("you'll shoot your eye out!") to us. Here, Michael is showing Ramsey how to aim. She was actually a really good shot!
Here Michael is helping Bradey aim. Her arms are a little too short still (she is only 6!)
Cindy (Mamaw) saddled up one of the horses and the girls went riding.
Bradey looks like she's riding herself (barefeet and all!), however, Cindy is leading the horse.
No, Bradey is not being attacked by some wild animal! This is "goatie-goat" and he thinks that he is a dog, or, at least is as gentle and loving towards people as one. He likes to play by rearing up like he would with another goat.
Here's a good shot of him playing with Dad. He almost looks like a kangaroo in this shot :)
We spent Wednesday on the river...here is Ramsey "driving" the boat.
Bradey's turn to help Papaw drive.
Ramsey caught a stingray! Bradey and I were the only ones to not catch a fish on either of our fishing excursions :( She's okay about it...I'm not! This is the very first fish that Ramsey has ever caught. Does a stingray really count as a fish though?
On Thursday, we traded fresh water for salt water and took a stroll down Daytona Beach the "World's Most Famous Beach", or, at least that's what the bench said?
It was wonderful getting to go to Denmark and we had a great time with the kids in Florida, but, it is GREAT to be home again...at least for a little while!
