Can't Beat 3 for Free...

All Parked Out...Last weekend we headed back to Miami for another fun filled day at an animal theme park. Parrot Jungle Island (PJI) is another one of our favorites and since we had an opportunity to go see it for free we couldn't pass it up.

(Just a little FYI for all my Florida Mommas: If you have season passes to Lion Country Safari you can get into these three theme parks for free this month through the middle of November. Miami SeaQuarium, Parrot Jungle Island and Wannado City. Can't beat 3 for Free! :) They are all great learning atmospheres.)



PJI is such a fun park because it is like an interactive zoo with some of the most amazing and rare attractions. Some of McCoy's favorites are the animals you can pet. You can pet baby alligators, snakes, and sometimes they even have little monkeys running around. Glade and I love the albino alligator and the Liger. That's right I said LIGER! Not just a Napoleon Dynamite mythical creature. Its a real Lion Tiger Mix. I couldn't get a good photo that shows it size, but this is one the park has. That thing is HUGE! Bigger than any cat in captivity. It is amazing. The Crocosauras is another amazing creature that we love to watch.





We always feel so lucky to be so close to so many fun places. We would never be able to go see many of these places if they weren't practically right in our back yard. So we try to take full advantage of our proximity to all this fun stuff while we are here because we don't know how long we will live in Florida.




As for the rest of week, well it has been pretty laid back. McCoy is loving school but we still have problems with drop offs. He cries and cries saying, "Don't do this to me, Please don't leave me here, Please Please don't go!" It breaks my heart in two. Last Thursday I had to have Glade come with me because I thought it would help. No such luck, he screamed even harder. But the teacher assures me he stops five minutes after we leave and when I pick him up he is always so smiley and happy and talks on and on about his wonderful day so I know he enjoys his time there I just wish we could quickly get over this crying stage. Course I think it is harder on me than him. LOL


Girly Comments & Graphics


Oh, and I haven't forgotten my Saturday Shout out, it is just a little be-lated!This Shout out goes to my good friend Jennifer! She just had a beautiful baby boy! JD is such a perfect looking little guy and so far it sounds like he is just the perfect little sleepy baby. I am so thrilled for ya girl! She is such an awesome Momma to both her boys! She never sits still, is always on the go, and she never ever complains. She has organized a wonderful group of mommas and kids and is always cooking up fun ideas for us all to do.
