  • The Citrus Attraction at Boyett’s Grove

    It all started because Liam wanted to go mini golfing. I hoped on Groupon and found not only Mini golf, but a Petting Zoo, Ice Cream, Antique Shoppe, and Citrus Store, and Dinosaur cave all in one! The price was good too, the Groupon is $49.95 for 6 people for all the stuff, Perfect price, done!

    The reviews were interesting, something like “I’ve never seen anything like it!” Or “Your eyes won’t know where to look first” They we’re all very intriguing and positive!

    The art work is nothing we’ve ever seen before, with 3D glasses the paint pops off the wall.

    There is an entire section of taxidermy animals that the boys found fascinating. The nice part was we had the place to ourselves, and we didn’t really have anyone hovering saying don’t touch that or anything. You are free to roam as you please.

    The kids fell in love with a few of the animals, this camel is a sweet heart and followed us all over eating almost an entire loaf of bread.

    They also have this cool dinosaur cave exhibit that we all enjoyed

    It was fun to see such a variety of animals and all the cages and habitats looked clean and well cared for! Off the top of my head I remember zebras, monkey, goats, alligator, guinea pigs, mini horse, donkey, llamas, alpacas, tortoise, and big birds like emu.

    I didn’t get a shot of the mini golf, but it’s inside and covered which is great from the heat and sun, but the building where it is ended up being too dusty for my allergies and really bothered me. The kids loved the course, it was challenging but still fun!

    From their page: Each of our Citrus Gifts and Grove fresh fruit Baskets is carefully picked and packed with the finest fresh Florida oranges, tangerines, grapefruit and honeybell fruit and shipped in our handsome and sturdy gift cartons! We will deliver fresh fruit baskets and special Florida treats to your friends and family

    If you have time do some research about this place, it has a wild history and could easily be a movie!

  • Skates

    If you missed my story post, Harper and I got roller skates! She’s pretty good, and I haven’t broken any bones yet..

    You can find my skates here

    Harper’s skates

    We got lucky right after a thunderstorm the sky cleared and the beach was empty, making for a beautiful sunset!

    The Mommy and Me Flag Cover up is from last year but you can still get it Next-Day just in time for the fourth! Coverups

    These hats are new too and I can’t wait to wear them all summer! Hats I just got two woman’s hats, Harper must have a big head because it fit her perfect!!

    The only thing that we’re missing is sparklers, but apparently there is a huge fine if you light one in the state park. I wasn’t going to risk it lol

    In the end I’m glad I could inspire Harper, this girl has been skating around the house and won’t take them off. She had a pair of little tikes skates but they are more plastic and not as nice, she never really cared to use them. These roll nice and she looks so cute!

    Annnnd Our swimsuits are from Target, you might recognize mine as the Fun Mom suit from my post here

    I hope your enjoying the rest of the weekend, I’m off to plan an extravagant picnic for work, stay tuned.. and go check out our skating post if you missed it!
