Lake Meadows Naturals Farm
I just received an email from a friend of mine who lives near this farm and it looks pretty cool! I wanted to share with you the info about free tours on Fridays. It looks like they have animals, gardens and a store with free eggs, bread, produce and more. I think we may check this out this summer. See website link below.
Did you know that we have free tours of the farm on Fridays? Call the farm store or email Liz at liz@lakemeadownaturals.com to schedule one for you and the kids. Did you also know that you can pick your very own eggs on Saturdays on a first come, first serve basis? Great memory- making activities. Exciting times here at Lake Meadow Naturals.

Our "100 things to do this Summer" List is complete
Our Summer List is complete and hanging up ready for school to be out for the summer. We are ready for some lazy days and some days free of lunchboxes, homework and projects. Can't wait to have lazy pj and movie days and do some projects we have been putting off since Christmas like using my son's Rock Tumbler. We also look forward to seeing friends that we don't see much during the school year and planning some day trips to check out local sites that are only open during the summer like Lake Eva Aquatic Center or we haven't been to before. Also, we always take advantage of the FREE summer movies and all the great summer programs offered at our local libraries.Stay tuned to my blog for more fun ideas for summer activities and to see how many of our 100 things we actually accomplish (last year we did 85 out of 100)!

Bok Tower Discovery Days 2014
http://boktowergardens.org/calendar/discovery-days/
About Discovery Days
Your child will discover nature through active, fun experiences as they venture out into the Gardens with new friends. Each Discovery Day celebrates a different aspect of nature through themed activities, projects and explorations that keep young minds actively learning and engaging throughout the summer. Each session includes a snack and at least one take-home project.We understand that flexibility is important for summer schedules. Discovery Days are designed with eight (8) independent sessions that are repeated once for a total of 16 program options. Choose the number of sessions or the specific topics that work best for you, your child, and your summer schedule.
Your child can earn a Discovery Certificate by attending all eight sessions—all eight Wednesdays, all eight Fridays, or both Wednesdays and Fridays for the first or last four weeks.

Discovery Days: Buggin’ Out
Bok Tower Gardens is Edward Bok’s gift to the world. Kids will
explore the cultural side of the Gardens through its art, music and
nature. Together we will learn which of Aesop’s Fables are represented
in the Singing Tower, discover some plants and animals depicted there,
and create artwork inspired by the Tower.
The lush gardens and natural beauty of Bok Tower Gardens inspires
the artful side of anyone. Kids of all skill levels will experiment with
different media and learn some new techniques as they create
impressions of nature that will turn their refrigerators into art
galleries!
Seeds have many surprises in store! Kids will explore the basic
anatomy of a seed and then go on a hunt to find seeds ‘in action’ around
the Gardens. They will also have an opportunity to make a seed collage,
and then plant some seeds to create their own nursery to take home.
From garden to plate, plants provide plentiful—and tasty—play that
helps kids discover the important connection between plants and food.
Tasteful explorations will include a tour of the vegetable garden at
Pinewood Estate, plant part play, and simple kid-friendly recipes.
Learning to capture the beauty at Bok Tower Gardens is as easy as
point & click! Kids will learn some basics of photography and then
practice their skills through a photo-safari in the Gardens. After their
walk, they’ll make a photo display of their favorite images to take
home. Please bring your own camera and have some fun!
There are many animals that ‘live among us’ in the Lake Wales area.
Some can be easily seen at Bok Tower Gardens, including squirrels,
lizards and Japanese koi, while others such as raccoons and possums live
further out of sight. Kids will go on an animal sighting and tracking
adventure, search for animal tracks in the Gardens, and create their own
track models to bring home.
Look up—there are a lot of animals flying around at Bok Tower
Gardens! Kids will hone their skills as they learn to hear, see and feed
hummingbirds, songbirds and owls. We’ll also explore the life cycles of
butterflies, see them in action, and discover some of the important
connections between birds, butterflies and plants.

LEGOLAND® Florida Announces First Responder Days in May
LEGOLAND® Florida Announces First Responder Days in May
WINTER HAVEN, Fla. (April 28, 2014)—LEGOLAND ® Florida is proud to once again honor police officers, fire fighters and EMS employees with a free single day admission to the park during the month of May. LEGOLAND Florida’s special offer gives first responders a chance to experience the park’s more than 50 rides, shows and attractions with their friends and family.
The program is valid for all police officers, fire fighters, and EMS employees working and serving in the United States. Active and retired personnel with identification are eligible. Eligible personnel should present their employee ID or professional organization membership card to LEGOLAND Florida’s ticket window the day they plan to visit to redeem their one free admission ticket and purchase up to four additional tickets at only $40 per ticket. The valid dates run from 5/1/14-5/31/14.
This new offer runs alongside the park’s active duty military personnel offer, which gives members of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, Coast Guard, National Guard and Reservists free single day admission to LEGOLAND Florida and the LEGOLAND Water Park. To redeem their free admission ticket, active duty military personnel should present their military identification card to LEGOLAND Florida’s ticket window the day they plan to visit. Family and friends of military personnel also receive substantial discounts on admission tickets and should make purchases in advance through participating military base ticket offices.
Also during the month of May, LEGOLAND Florida will open the newest park expansion, DUPLO ® Valley, on May 23. Just in time for family fun over Memorial Day weekend, DUPLO Valley is geared to toddlers ages 2 to 5, an ideal place for park guests to play and relax with new farm-themed attractions, including the DUPLO Train, DUPLO Mini-Tractor, DUPLO Barn and DUPLO Splash n’ Play.
