Summer Water Park Fun

So we made it to the half way mark of the year. All the kids get out of school and parents wonder what to do with these little ones. As a child I loved the summers for those wonderful trips my parents would make for us. Water slides tubes, and pools were our Saturday family outings.

Following my last blog, another little hidden park in South Florida that would be great for family with kids of all ages is Coconut Cove Water Park. Its located hidden behind a few family residencies in Boca Raton and for that reason I find it to be a man made little paradise. Its not as crowded as you more famous water parks and that keeps the crowds manageable. Although I have been going for a few years now and it is growing popularity.

Below are its fun attractions:
One of the highlights of the park is the playground that sits right in the middle of a large pool no deeper then 3 feet. Built sort of like a beach shore, the outside areas are shallow enough for babies sit and splash water all around. The center of the play ground is deep enough to give any 4 years old tons of fun but safe enough where no expert swimming levels are needed.
For the older more adventurous kids you have two water slides that can be enjoyed by any family member as long as the meet the height requirement of 42 inches. The slides end in a pool about 3 feet deep so for the little ones that reach the height limit they may need to know how to at least doggie paddle.
Then you have your lazy river for those who just want to take up some sun and relax.

So if you live in South Florida and you are always in the hunt for great places and events to spend your Saturday afternoons, you might want to try out Coconut Cove Water Park.

Ichetucknee, Florida's Little Secret

This Memorial weekend we loaded the kids in the car and headed 5 hours north from South Florida to Jacksonville. Then we drove west about 2 hours more to visit the beautiful hidden place known as Ichetucknee Springs State Park.

The crystalline Ichetucknee River runs about six miles through gorgeaous natures wetlands before meeting up with Santa Fe River. In 1972, Ichetucknee became a National Natural Landmark. The park is a hidden secret for its location but its worth a trip to see one of Florida's wonders. Highlights of the park are as follows:

1. The Head Spring is the nature like pool area where swimmers can take a dip and enjoy the shallow as well as deeper area. The water average to be about 72 degrees and may seems cold to some as it may be just perfect for others. Keep in mind the cool climate of the water is what makes this a paradise for humans. If waters were to be any warmer this would make the water a inviting breeding ground for alligators and snakes as all other water areas are in Florida. So I would say, BRING IN THE COLD BABY!!!

2. For those seeking a bit colder water and some deeper waters you also have the Blue Hold. A half-mile walk through the Ichetucknee forest and cypress flood plain leads to Blue Hole Spring, the largest spring in the park. The bottom of the hole opening is at a 30 foot depth. The walk to get to the Blue Hole is beautifully relaxing.








3. Visitors can also enjoy tubing the crystal clear waters. Its roughly a 2 -3 hour ride and its full of natures splendors. Thousands of people visit the river and springs each year. Common ways to take the ride are tubing, canoeing or kayaking. Its nice to stop and take dips in different areas for a refreshing cool down.


4. The park is great for camping and picnics. Basically prepare for a day to be completely surround by natural beauty.

May 21st ‘Doomsday’ Money Making Propaganda

This weekend facebook, news telecast and major websites had something to say about the big Doomsday prediction that was suppose to take place this Saturday.

Harold Camping preached that the world would end on Saturday, May 21, 2011 at 6 p.m. local time, where we would experience terrible earthquakes and the rapture of 200 million of God’s believers. Here we are the Tuesday following and on the news this morning he was stating that he miss calculated the date. Now we are targeting October 21st 2011. I guess a new date target to make some profit.

What's amazing is the amount of people who actually believed this would take place. Most made mocks of it but if you do a quick search on May 21st Doomsday, you' ll find articles upon articles on how people prepared for this event. A true Christian knows that NOBODY absolutely NO ONE can predict the end of times.

A way to think of it is we all know we are guaranteed death correct? But we don't know when this will happen. So why do we worry about the end of times more then we do of our own end when the chance of us dying today, tomorrow or in 50 years are the same odds as the end of the world. It will happen the question is WHEN.

Scientist can predict world phenomenons, people can related world climate changes to the finally days but nobody can pinpoint an exact day. So why are so many people so taken by all these predictions? I read some people even gave away a great amount of their savings to "be ready for the big day".

My personal opinion is if your a Christian, get close to our Lord and know that you are at peace with his decisions when that day comes. If you are not a Christian believer, then be a good person and remember what you offer others is the same Karma you will receive.

Why follow someone that knows just as much as you about the final days which is NOTHING!!

Interesting articles on people who really believe!

Botox used on 8-year-old girl.

The news is flooded with the outrage tail of a mother injecting botox on to her little 8 year old daughter. Now she is claiming that she only did it because Great Britain's "The Sun" asked her to say and pose with a syringe to create a juicy story.

So this had me thinking, whether she did insert Botox in her child or not, the question is why is our society bombarded with more and more issues every day of ways to make our kids grow up so much faster.

You walk into a store and there in your face is the newest summer trend of provocative Bikinis for 8 to 12 year olds.

Youth is such a beautiful time in someone's life and we try to hard to shorten it. Keep Santa Claus as a hope, hope for the tooth fairy to come, ride your bike until wee hours of the evening, live the childhood moment. Why does our society pressure our kids to skip this era that you only wish to have back once you are an adult.

Below is the orginal video on Good Morning America!

Abortion Put Into Perspective

I came across this next post somewhere in the depths of face book. I cant take credit for it but I figured I would share it and give credit where credit is due.

The article has the name of Mike Adler as the writer.

The question is: Do you believe a baby in the womb has the same right as a living being.
A worried woman went to her gynecologist and said:

'Doctor, I have a serious problem and desperately need your help! My baby is not even 1 year old and I'm pregnant again. I don't want kids so close together.

So the doctor said: 'Ok and what do you want me to do?'

She said: 'I want you to end my pregnancy, and I'm counting on your help with this.'

The doctor thought for a little, and after some silence he said to the lady: 'I think I have a better solution for your problem. It's less dangerous for you too.'

She smiled, thinking that the doctor was going to accept her request.

Then he continued: 'You see, in order for you not to have to take care 2 babies at the same time, let's kill the one in your arms. This way, you could rest some before the other one is born. If we're going to kill one of them, it doesn't matter which one it is. There would be no risk for your body if you chose the one in your arms.

The lady was horrified and said: 'No doctor! How terrible! It's a crime to kill a child!

'I agree', the doctor replied. 'But you seemed to be OK with it, so I thought maybe that was the best solution.'

The doctor smiled, realizing that he had made his point.

He convinced the mom that there is no difference in killing a child that's already been born and one that's still in the womb.

The crime is the same!

If you agree, please SHARE. Together we can help save precious lives!

"Love says I sacrifice myself for the good of the other person. Abortion says I sacrifice the other person for the good of myself..."

Jesus sacrificed Himself for the good of sinners! That's perfect love!

Pillow Pet for a Mothers Day Gift

A few weeks ago I was in BJ's doing some shopping and my little girl was wondering the isles with me. Asking questions on everything like any five year old would do. I always drive-by the toy isles since I am a kid at heart.

I stopped at the box of Pillow Pets and looked through all the cute faces. They had ladybugs, frogs pigs, and a few other cute faces. I didn't realize I did my usual routine of standing there and stare at a product and over analyze if I should spend the money or not. I wanted a pillow pet but could not find justification on getting my grown a#% one. My little girl tugs on my pants and says, "Mommy whats wrong?" I said, "Baby I am looking at the pillow pets.. I love the piggy." In her sweet voice she says, "Mommy get it." I answered, "No baby, I am to old to get one."

Well today on Mother's Day I got a pillow pet and the piggy no less. My Husband went in to BJs for some shopping and went with our daughter. He was looking for a card to give me today. He tells me that as they went by the toy isle she ran to the pillow pet box and said, "Daddy Mommy would love the piggy pillow pet." He asked her, "You really think so baby? " She replied, "Yes daddy she was staring at him the other day and said that she was to old to get a pillow pet." So the pillow pet made it into the shopping cart and into my arms.

My baby girl gave me the pillow pet with such an exciting glow today. My husband asked if I liked it, I could only say I LOVE IT!!! As I embraced my baby girl and said thank you, she whispered, its ok mommy to have a pillow pet. I don't think the piggy thinks your old.

The little things that make life worth living!!!!

Happy Mother's Day


Today celebrating everything our mothers do for us I wanted to wish everyone mother a Happy Mothers Day. I thought this little comic book cartoon was too cute.

Cute Baby Twins

To continue my weakness for cute videos all baby related. Here are the newest sensations. Two baby twins carrying on their own conversation. Adorable is the word that comes to mind when you see them just blabbing away their issues like tiny grown-ups



Interesting facts about twins that will make you say: Really?

1. There are several type of twins. Though we consider twins as identical or not.. there are a few different types of twins. They are: the well known identical, mirror twins, fraternal, mixed chromosome twins, super fecundation, and superfetation. But besides the identical and fraternal, the others are very rare.

2. Identical twins can be opposite sexes. This one is interesting because how can identical be of opposite sex. At the moment the egg is at splitting process, it may not happen quite as it should, ending in twins that display genetic abnormalities. This means one twin might have the right correlation of XX or XY while the other has XXY. Also very rare but has happened.

3. What the mother eats can upgrade the chances of having twins. Studies have suggested that women who that eat dairy and animal products have a higher chance conceiving twins than those that don't. Its believe to be due to a protein IGF. This is likely due to a protein called IGF that causes greater chances of ovulation.

4. Twins do not have to have the same father
This very rare occurrence when a mother releases multiple eggs, each getting fertilized by sperm from separate partners.
