Looking for something new to do in Central Florida? No Prob-Lama - Visit LunaSea Alpaca Farm7/9/2020 If you are like me, you are always looking for something new and exciting to do around Central Florida. Don’t get me wrong, I love the theme parks, but I also like discovering new places to visit. Staying indoors during this COVID pandemic has really been tough for me too, because I get so antsy doing nothing, but like most people, that is what I’ve been doing. So I finally decided to take a step outside and go somewhere that has been on my bucket list for the last year - LunaSea Alpaca Farm. LunaSea Alpaca Farm is located in Clermont, not far from Lakeridge Winery (so maybe next time add it to your plans before a day of wine tasting!). The farm is family owned with mainly alpacas and a few llamas. They offer tours, which you reserve in advance, for a donation of $10 each person. The tours are limited to a small number of guests and right now during the pandemic you can feel safe to keep your distance and wear your mask (although at the time attended not required - not sure if county rules have changed since visiting). The tour (led by King) was informative, interactive, and unlike anything I had ever experienced. Although you don’t really walk very far, you are up close and personal with the Alpacas like nowhere I have ever been in my life. We got to be in their areas, pet them, feed them treats, and just be with them while they roam free. It was interesting to learn that alpacas do not have top teeth, so although you see these huge teeth protruding from their mouth, they cannot bite you. This made me feel a lot safer around them and made the experience a lot more enjoyable. The babies of course were the highlight. They were so cute and just wanted to "chew" on everything - the chair, my purse, etc. The tour lasted probably about an hour total and it was so much fun! I honestly cannot wait to go back and take others with me so they can experience what I did, as I feel it is something very unique that is being offered here in Central Florida. Something new that LunaSea Alpaca Farm is starting to offer is “alpaca yoga” where you actually get to do yoga with the alpaca’s roaming around and then play with the babies afterwards. This is something I may consider trying out in the future now that I have been getting into yoga.

ABOUT Nine-year-old Sophie catches JJ, a hardened CIA operative, spying on her family during a routine surveillance operation. In exchange for not blowing his cover, JJ begrudgingly agrees to show the precocious girl how to become a spy. What at first seems like an easy task soon turns into a battle of wits as Sophie proves you don't need much experience to outsmart a seasoned agent. MY THOUGHTS I was invited to an advance screening of My Spy last week as the movie was originally set to open in theaters on March 13th. However, as with most movies right now, the release date has been pushed back until April 17th. Nevertheless, I am so thankful that I got to see this movie before everything came to a halt. This movie was HYSTERICAL. I mean seriously, I was nonstop laughing, as was everyone in the theater. I don't know about you, but I always have soft spot for movies like this, big muscular man that doesn't like to show feelings that gets partnered with a little kid. We all know how that story is going to play out, but this movie has the comedy attached. Plenty of one-liners, and just all around funny moments. I feel like I can't say too much without giving things away, which I won't. All I can say, is the cast was a great choice. Dave Bautista (you may know him as Drax from Guardians of the Galaxy) plays his role as the "hardened CIA operative" perfectly. Chloe Coleman is adorable and shows she is one smart little girl. I personally LOVED Kristen Schaal in her role as "Bobbi", JJ's CIA partner. She is just an all around hilarious actress, but she plays this role PERFECTLY. Her little quips and remarks just make this movie that much more funny. Although I'm saddened that this movie was moved to April, I think it was a good choice. I'm here to tell you, it is a must-see comedy once we all can leave our houses and enjoy some time out and about! Don't want to believe me? Here is what what one of my lucky followers that also got to see the screening had to say: "Hadn't heard my son laugh that much at a movie in I don't know when! It made his day and in turn, it made mine!" RATING THIS MOVIE IS RATED PG-13 - I do agree with this rating as there are a good amount of swear words and a little bit of violence, as to be expected with a CIA "action" movie.
