Our first day in Florida at the "ranch"

We drove from Orlando to Monticello to meet up with my younger brother and mom. A bitter sweet time as this is where my father was killed when my parents home burned to the ground. My mom and brother keep up with the tree farm up as much as they can.

This was such a good experience for the boys. Riding on the mower seemed to be great fun for the guys. As was "camping" with kerosene lamps and heat from the fire stove.

Ryder received a Red Ryder BB gun from Uncle and Mom. He loves it of course. Not my favorite thing but I have boys and some how it's in their DNA whether it's a stick or a sandwich - a gun somehow can come about. Ryder spent the time to learn the safety rules and read all about his new BB gun. With supervision Dax even shot off a few.
