Best Springs to Visit in Florida 2022

Florida is well-known for its water-related activities, beautiful beaches and the Everglades. What many don’t know is that the state is also home to almost 700 natural freshwater springs, many of which also have underwater caves where individuals can go snorkeling.

Three Sisters Springs

Located in Crystal River, the site features pristine water and the opportunity to view manatees. The only way to access the springs is by canoe, kayak or paddleboard.

Madison Blue Spring State Park

The spring’s waters are crystal clear, with a depth of 25 ft. and a width of almost 82 ft. Visitors can swim, dive, or see the underwater caves. A variety of land and aquatic wildlife reside there, including catfish, sunfish and turtles.

Ginnie Springs

Scuba diving, snorkeling, paddleboarding, kayaking and canoeing are just some of the activities that can be enjoyed in the turquoise water. Rafting and tubing are also popular pastimes at the springs.

Homosassa Springs Wildlife State Park

The site is actually a combination of nearly 30 individual springs. One of the springs releases 100 cubic ft. of water per second. Visitors will find fresh and saltwater wildlife, including the West Indian manatee, that can be viewed through an underwater observatory. Land animals include black bears, the Florida panther, red wolves and a resident hippo.

Rainbow Springs

The spring has a history going back 10,000 years and maintains a temperature of 72 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. They range in depth from 5 to 18 ft. in depth. The site includes waterfalls, the opportunity to go tubing, camping, snorkeling and scuba diving. A rainbow of blossoms is on display during the spring.

Devil’s Den Spring

Located in a prehistoric cave, the water is a pleasing 72 degrees Fahrenheit year-round. Swimming isn’t allowed and the company that owns it charges an admission fee, but it can be well worth the experience for scuba divers.

Silver Glen Springs

Take a glass bottom boat ride for a view of manatees and a wealth of aquatic wildlife. Visitors can also stop in at the Silver River Museum and Cracker Village that’s a recreation of a 19th century pioneer village.

Blog, Bounce House Rental

Who Should Not Use a Bounce House

Bounce houses are extremely popular, as evidenced by the long lines of children waiting to use them. Bounce houses are safe to use with proper supervision and provide a fun entertainment for at home or for any special event. However, there are some children that shouldn’t be allowed to use a bounce house for their own safety or under certain circumstances.

The first rule of safety for a bounce house is to have a responsible adult monitor it at all times. That includes controlling the number of children inside at one time and watching for those that aren’t following the rules. An adult should be on duty at all times in the event that a problem with inflation occurs or a storm blows in.

Mixing Younger and Older Children

Mixing children of different sizes is dangerous. Safely using a bounce house means having users of similar age and size using it and the same time.

Large Groups

Bounce house participants should be limited to small groups, preferably of the same relative size and weight. Youngsters can get overly enthusiastic with their jumps and bounds, which can lead to falls and broken limbs.

Shoes and Sharp Objects

Children should never enter a bounce house while wearing shoes. It’s detrimental to the bounce house and can result in an injury to other youngsters. Users should remove jewelry and be free of sharp objects in pockets.

Wind and Rain

No child should be allowed to play in a bounce house when it’s windy or raining. A breeze that can blow paper, sand or dirt around is strong enough to move around a bounce house, even when appropriately anchored. Moisture coming in on children’s feet makes for an extremely slippery surface that can result in any number of injuries.

Bounce House Rental

What to Look for in a Bounce House Rental Company

Bounce houses are one of the most popular entertainments available for children age 12 and younger. Parents want to provide an enjoyable time for youngsters, but safety is a prime consideration.

It’s important to know that children under the age of 6 shouldn’t use a bounce house – they don’t have the coordination required to use one of the amusements. Before arranging for the bounce house, there are some things every individual should seek in a rental company.

Years in Business

Look for a rental company that’s been in business for several years. It’s also a good idea to read reviews to determine if the company provides consistently good service and equipment that’s clean, sanitized and well-maintained.

Insurance

Make sure the rental company carries insurance and ask to see the certificate of coverage. Homeowner’s insurance may or may not cover any injuries or damage resulting from the use of a bounce house at home. The safety of users should be a prime consideration for the rental company.

Contracts and Cancellation

Storms can come up quickly and without warning in South Florida. Operating a bounce house in wind or rain isn’t safe. A breeze that’s strong enough to move sand, dirt, or blow papers around has enough force to adversely affect a bounce house. Make sure the rental company has a refund policy in the event of a weather-related cancellation.

Examine the entire rental agreement before signing. The cost should encompass everything from delivery and pickup to all required equipment and any potential damage that may occur. If an attendant is required, individuals should discover if the rental company provides someone or if the renter is responsible for monitoring the bounce house.

Available Models

Look at all the available models – there should be a selection. Many events have a specific theme, such as castles or superheroes. Each child has different interests and there are bounce houses to accommodate every youngster.

Crocs Have Made a Comeback!

Love them or hate them, Crocs™ are here to stay and the brand is stronger than ever. The foam clogs were making a comeback and the COVID-19 pandemic helped propel the trend. People became more interested in comfort while working from home and women, in particular, were happy to kick the high heel habit. Crocs™ had $1.1 billion in revenue during the last half of 2021.

The lightweight shoes were originally designed for boating, featuring a secure grip and odor resistance. However, the footwear quickly gained popularity as standard fare for all types of recreational pursuits and even in professional environments. They lost favor among wearers for a while, but they’re back with a vengeance.

More than 300 million pairs of the brightly colored footwear have been sold and they’re now offered in glittery styles and emblazoned with popular superheroes and Disney characters. Rhinestone-encrusted Crocs™ even had their day on the catwalk during London Fashion Week thanks to British designer, Christopher Kane. A shimmering gold version even appeared on the red carpet at the Academy Awards in 2021, worn by musician Questlove.

Crocs™ has counted among its fans movie stars to presidents. Different collections are available ranging from a Bistro line to All-Terrain Terrazzo. The brand is also popular with those who value environmentally-friendly options, as the company is poised to be a Net Zero brand by 2030 with sustainable ingredients, packaging and responsible use of resources.

Comfort and durability are two of the primary reasons people flock to Crocs™. They also appreciate the waterproof aspect, along with the ease with which the shoes can be cleaned. Consumers have more than 50 designs from which to choose and the more streamlined design is reminiscent of Italian styling.

The brand’s footwear has been controversial since its founding, due to the clog’s appearance. That no longer seems to be a problem for a nation seeking an all-around, alternative footwear solution that’s focused on comfort. Just don’t forget some Jibbitz charms to dress up and customize the Crocs™.
