Something a little different, today. My friend and I met for a miniature cow marathon. Riding…read morearound in the wagon to various stopping points where we could see, pet, feed and photograph mini cows was a unique experience. My understanding is that the fam has been here for years but the safaris just started in November. If today was a typical day, I'd say they're going to be/ are wildly successful. I didn't mind paying the visit fee, or even buying a bucket of feed. Paying $10 to park seemed steep and a bit over the top. -1 star.

LunaSea Alpaca Farm was such a fun and adorable experience. You get to pet, feed, and even do yoga…read morewith baby alpacas! The alpacas are incredibly cute and friendly, and a lot of the time is spent interacting with them, taking photos, and just enjoying being around the animals. We had a great time hanging out with the alpacas and loved how laid-back and welcoming the atmosphere was. Even if you're not into yoga or have never done it before, don't let that intimidate you. The yoga portion is very beginner friendly and definitely takes a backseat to the alpacas themselves. It's really more about enjoying the experience, laughing, and spending time with these adorable animals than getting in a serious workout. Great experience that I'd love to do again.

I visited the farm to do painting with the alpacas. I was excited for the art which was an alpaca…read morewearing a flower crown. We were introduced to some of the alpacas while waiting for the rest of the guests arrived. We were led into the pen area where a few tables were set up and the canvas was pre sketched with the outline of the alpacas body. We then were asked to go up and pick out our paint colors to get added to our plates. The instructor was great. She was so sweet and walked everyone through the painting step by step. She was so artistic and really helped everyone bring their piece to life. The alpacas are adorable. They were fun to feed and watch play with eachother. Just have to be careful they don't snatch your plate with paint on it away (which did happen to someone). But the staff was quick to come in, bring new paint, and help fix the art piece. I removed 1 star from the owner King's unkind words and storytelling. We sat in our painting class and divulged very unbecoming details about him and his wife's marriage. He proceeded to refer to her as an "old hag" many times. He shared too much personal information and it was extremely uncomfortable to sit and listen to.

Beck's Bro's blueberry u-pick is Winter Garden and Windermere's small family owned spot for picking…read more2-3 different kind of blueberry's from April-May. Smack dab in the middle of several neighbors, it's a treat to come on the property. We've been going for a few years now and each year they add small amenities like hand washing stations, rides around the property and picture spots. Parking is free. A bucket at this time in 2025 is $20. We each grab a bucket and take a different row; plan for about an hour to fill it. Feel free to taste to make sure you're getting the kind you like (sweet, sour and mid sour). When paying there is other local offerings like honey (wish they came in a smaller offer)

Every year, from mid-April to mid-May, the Beck Brothers farm opens itself to the public for a…read morespecial event: Blueberry picking! There are acres of blueberries growing in neat rows, and they're full of fruit. You enter the farm, park in a grassy field, grab a bucket at a table by the orchard, and head out to pick. The helpful people who give you the buckets tell you a bit about the varieties that they grow, and about the colored streamers on each row that tell you which variety is growing there. Here in Central Florida it gets hot early in the year, so the plants fruit early. What's comfy for the plants is comfy for us, so picking is usually in great weather. When you've finished picking enough, you take the bucket back to the table and pay for what you picked. By comparison, what costs you $8 at a store like Walmart costs you $6 at Beck Brothers farm. So go now, or plan for next April, and get enough blueberries to make your jam, your ice cream, your muffins and pies. Freeze the excess and you'll always be ready to eat the berries that your family and friends picked on a lovely Spring day.

This state of the art building is huge! Not only that, but there is plenty of room to social distance while you lend your hand for good. I highly recommend checking it out.

The time always goes by so fast, thanks to other friendly volunteers and great music playing in the background.

I can't say enough things about the Ronald McDonald House Charity…read more I've been volunteering since I was a little girl...it was something that was always important to my parents and it's stayed with me all my life....but I can honestly say that I have found my "Forever Home", if you will. They have very few people on staff and are heavily reliant on volunteers, and so incredibly appreciative of their volunteers. I've never felt like I made such a difference to a single organization as I do now. There are two houses in Orlando. One is near Florida Hospital and one by Arnold Palmer on Orange Avenue, where I volunteer. The Charity is set up to have families and parents of hospitalized children stay near their sick kiddos. They ask for a donation of $15 a night. That's all. $15!!! And if a family cannot afford it, they don't have to pay. It's amazing. The Arnold Palmer house has about 35 rooms, a computer room, gorgeous living rooms, a monster kitchen and more. Local restaurants and organizations come in nightly to cook dinner for everyone and once in a while they will have to cancel at the last minute...and then volunteers like me can fill in. :) So far, I've helped at Bed Day. Tempurpedic donated all the beds to the Houses in the US and I made breakfast for lots of firefighters and police officers while they changed the beds out. I also helped at the Ice Cream Social and Golf Tourney...and I work the desk a couple of times a month at the Arnold Palmer House. I am currently trying to organize an edible garden planting at the houses. If you have any ideas, send them my way. You don't have a lot of interaction with the kids...it's their parents and families you help. Many times it's a quick hello...but sometimes they just want to be taken away from hospital speak for awhile...talk about Gossip Girl or gas prices...they just need a smile and a hug and cup of coffee. Like I said, they are heavily reliant on volunteers so if you have an interest, please visit their site at www.rmhccf.org You can volunteer at special events or if you have a consistent time that you are able to give weekly or monthly you can volunteer at the houses. It's a wonderful thing!

I recently volunteered under the "Share a meal" program, where people from the community can come in and cook (or bring in from a commercial kitchen) lunch or dinner. On my stop I baked cookies for the holidays and brought in cupcakes donated from Gigi's Cupcakes of Orlando. I was welcomed by the staff and the families who I met, everyone was very nice. The kitchen has every type of pot, pan and utensil you need to make a meal. I'll be signing up for a shift again in January.
