Dinosaur World Theme Park In Florida






Recently We took a trip to Dinosaur Worlda less-dangerous version of Jurassic Park, is situated on 20 acres and contains more than 200 life-size dinosaur sculptures. There's also a "boneyard playground" for kids and educational programs with paleontologist experts Although Kylie seemed to know almost everything they said it was very neat to know all the info they were giving us was facts and truth. She was excited that she knew about most of it.

We always pass the huge sign on I4 and have always wanted to stop. 
Since this summer is over and She has started school we have made a new plan to try A new adventure that we have not done yet. So this is now off our Kylie's Adventure Bucket list.  I must say at first I was A little worried she would be to old for it but rest assure she loved it and cant wait to plan our next trip there. 




General Admission rates include access to over 200 life size dinosaurs along with the theme park’s numerous shows and exhibits including the area’s largest, interactive boneyard, the giant skeletal playground and the Prehistoric museum featuring an impressive collection of animation dinosaurs, prehistoric dinosaur eggs, raptor claws and everything dinosaur.
Additional encounters such as the Fossil Dig and the Dino Gem Excavation are also available. 

Dinosaur World is open year round Daily 9am to 5pm 
There is no food service at the park. I highly suggest packing a picnic to dine with the Dino's. I would Pack water, food, and snacks. It's mostly outdoors and the Florida weather is extremely hot. You will want to keep hydrated. If you forget to pack food ahead of time there is a subway down the street but other then that there is nothing else very close.




Our Favorite part of the whole trip was the Fossil Dig and the Dino Gem Excavation.
 Kylie was talking about it for hours after we left. She loved being able to find her very own real gems and stones. So many cool ones to take home and keep for our collection.The Fossil dig was neat they let you take home 3 fossils. If you aren't sure if you want to trust me your little ones will love it. 













Another awesome thing we did was picking our very own Geode Rock to crack open. 
They have this machine that presses the rock and cracks it right down the middle for you. This was so neat to do. We love ours and is so beautiful in our collection. 
Kylie had never heard of this so when we got to surprise her she was so excited! So not only is there tons of cool Dino's to check out there is also tons of hands on fun things to experience with your little ones!



Geodes are neat they can form in any cavity, but the term is usually reserved for more or less rounded formations in igneous and sedimentary rocks. They can form in gas bubbles in igneous rocks, such as vesicles in basalticlavas; or, as in the American Midwest, in rounded cavities in sedimentary formations. After rock around the cavity hardens, dissolved silicates and/or carbonates are deposited on the inside surface. Over time, this slow feed of mineral constituents from groundwater or hydrothermal solutions allows crystals to form inside the hollow chamber. Bedrock containing geodes eventually weathers and decomposes, leaving them present at the surface if they are composed of resistant material such as quartz.
When cut in half, visible bands corresponding to varied stages of precipitation may at times show patterns that reveal point/s of fluid entry into the cavity and/or varied colors corresponding to changes in chemistry. Ours was clear Quartz and we love it very much. 




Another fun area was the Bone Yard. Kylie loved digging in the sand for a huge Dinosaur fossils. We spent about an hour digging up bones and having fun. There is also a cute Dino Playground for the kids to play on. We love to swing and play so having a playground was A plus. 




I had a blast making so many fun memories for her to remember forever. 
As parents We must remember its our job to make our Kids childhood filled with endless Laughter, Fun Adventures, Happy memories for them to remember. 
I love nothing more in this whole world then making memories with my Beautiful Daughter.
 I could not be more blessed. If  you're thinking about taking a trip to Dinosaur World We Highly suggest it!!!!

DIY Blanket Fort Movie Night Before She goes Back to School




































Where has the time gone? This summer has been so amazing and full of adventures. So many amazing memories made. I can't believe summer is now about to come to an end and the new school year is about to begin. So needless to say I have really been soaking up these last moments before My Beautiful Daughter starts 2nd grade. 
I can't believe my once 7 pound 4 oz 21 inches little princess is now almost as tall as me and is off to 2nd grade. I'm gonna need some tissues!!!!
 I must say i'm so proud of the lady she has become. 








    I feel like it was just yesterday I was being admitted to the hospital to be induced to give birth to her. I was so nervous to meet her and very excited and impatient. Once she arrived and was placed in my arms I was pretty much speechless. She was everything I ever wanted and more. It was the most amazing feeling knowing this little human grew inside of me for 9 months and now i'm the one who gets to teach and show her the world. Some people think and worry whats to come next after having a child but that was not me. My life had just began and I could not wait to see what the future held. I could not wait to start my life with her. I knew once I held her and she looked into my eyes that from that day for the rest of my life I had a purpose. She gives me a whole new meaning to love that I never even knew existed. A love so deep and strong not one person could break it. As these days fly by and she's off to a new year of school, ready to learn and grow.  I can't say enough I wish time would stop!! We're so busy making memories time seems to fly by. So every night is fort movie night. I love the extra cute giggles and happy smiles when we build the fort. There is just something extra special about hanging out in a blanket fort watching movies and cuddling. 






Moments like these kids remember for a lifetime. 
Take a little extra time to show your little one some love.


To Build The Perfect Fort:
Two big king or queen blankets 
lots of pillows to lay on 
4 Kitchen chairs 
Put two chairs on each side then drape the two blankets over the 4 chairs. 
we added Christmas lights for a little extra fun.

Childhood





This is a photo of my Daughter Puddle jumping! Some people hate rainy days but we absolutely love rainy days. Puddles are the best to jump in and no matter what we are wearing the minute we see a puddle we look at each other and usually she's the first to jump. I think it's little moments like these kids remember for a lifetime. I know I Cherish each moment we spend and every little memory we make. All the little moments become big moments later on in life. I know as a child one of my favorite things to do was jump in puddles and get soaking wet just the idea of being so c are free is what feels the best. I love watching Kylie be carefree and happy. There's no place I'd rather be then watching her grow, love and support her and be her number one fan!! I encourage all moms to take a step back and enjoy life before you wake up and it's gone.
