Could This Be Some Fun ? Fox Bloggers, I 'll.....

Could this be some fun. FOX bloggers, I'll need some input and your participation if you dare. We all blog here for a number of reasons : entertainment, the news, learning experiences, making a statement and just for laughs. I've been on this blog for a little over a year now, and have reached the conclussion that meeting many at a great place might be a fun way to spend a day. I'm one for the outdoors and Florida's springs are one of my summer-time favorites. Since we've got bloggers from Kissimee to Daytona, I was trying to come up with a great location that was middle ground.

I was thinking of a Sunday at Blue Springs State Park. Admission is cheap, the snorkeling is great, great kid's playground and swimming area, and clean restroom facilities. Parking is usually not an issue early in the year as well. I was thinking if there was enough intrest, a kiosk could be rented there, do some grilling of the burgers and dogs, do some swimming and do some type-less blog. I really hate typing, one of the few things I will never be either good at or fast !

WELL,WHATDYA' THINK?  A winner or a diaper-load stinker ? I need some input. No date specific yet, I was thinking at least 4-5 weeks down the road. One other point of intrest, where the run meets the St.Johns resides a family of river otters, and watching them chase and terrorise the fish is a real treat !

Thanks Deborah ! I'm waiting to see what kind of responce that I get. If we can get a good enough turn out, that would ensure enough eyes about to where the parents can get off for a bit to hit the sink. Do a little sharing of the kid watching.

Hmmmmm! Blue Springs is way up there by Gainesville right? That is an easy three hour drive for me, and with the gas prices the way they are, that doesn't look like an option for me right now, especially with summer work being sketchy. I live in south Brevard by the way... And yes I know I have been all over this state and normally it wouldn't be an issue for me, but with gas approaching $4 a gallon, I will probably pass on this opportunity!

It isn't that I don't want to meet everyone, because I do. Let's see how summer pans out and then I would consider something done in the summer! Thanks! I think the flip-floppers have all been together at least once! =)

No Brenda, Blue Springs is in Orange City, a stones throw from the city of Deltona. Shouldn't be that far from your neck of the woods. What do you mean maybe I day. Inquiring minds what to know, presently I might add ! LOL !!!! I would need probably 15-20 favorable responces, before trying to make it happen.

Where is Orange City? I do not live near Deltona by the way... I live just south of Melbourne Meb!

If we play our cards right it could become a huge event.
Central Florida is a pretty big community...lol
Sounds like a good idea though, the Cape does the All-American picnic at Kars in Merritt Island.
Shoes tournament, a couple of kegs, we could probably raise some money too if we take time and really plan it out.
Lets do it big!!!

Brenda, Orange City is about 30 minutes or so north of Orlando off of 1-4. At the Orange City exit, you get off and head about 10 minutes west to 17-92 then about about 10 minutes into Orange City. In the middle of town there is a clearly marked sign for the State Park, you make a left and you're ther ein about 10 minutes. Total time is just under 50 minutes from approximately the East-West/ I-4 junction. If you've never been, you'd go once and be hooked. Seriously it's that nice of a place. The water temperatur is approximately 72 degrees at the boil, if that;s a bit cold you could head downstream where most of the kids swim. For some unknown reason it seems a couple of degrees warmer there. LOL !!!!

I have been to Itchetucknee Springs once or twice LOL! So I know all about springs! I really need to do photos at Itchetucknee's Blue Hole, it is that picturesque! But like I said above, summer is still sketchy, and I may on unemployment, and not sure what that will pay... Driving a truck that far will certainly cost me mucho dinero! So I think I will pass!

Do you know where Melbourne and Southern Brevard are on the map? Just curious is all!

I am 50 minutes south of Cape Canaveral. I am a good hour and a half from Disney and about an hour and twenty to thirty minutes from the Orlando Airport...

I didn't know you were that far south Brenda. Yeah I took my daughter to Itchetucknee Springs last summer. Wanted to take the highway the opposite dirrection and hit Ginny Springs, 5 different boils with the last one in the Santa Fe River. That and Juniper will be on this summer's long list.

Blue Springs off of 17? That place is very nice. We used to go picnic there. Nice photo ops on the lawn in front of the white house.
Borntobewild, I think you are thinking of Orange Springs not Orange City.

This is a great idea Meb. This has crossed my mind a couple times while blogging here that we all get together. Count me in. Sounds like fun. I love get togethers.
