Gisele Bündchen brought her lucky hubby Tom Brady down to Brazil with her to celebrate the country’s Carnival, but little Benjamin Rein, 14 months, had to stay home this time.

“[He] will have wait a couple years until he gets to experience the amazing fun of Carnival,” Bündchen, 30, told PEOPLE in an email from Brazil. While in her native land, the model participated in the local Vila Isabel samba school’s parade display.

I’m sure Benjamin will have many years of Carnival fun to look forward to!

For now, he’s keeping his mama happy and helping her keep her famous bikini body. Bündchen gives "taking Benjamin on long walks" all the credit for her kickin’ curves!
