IKR? It's so
bleeping ridiculous.
DH and I went to Bonnet Springs Park in Lakeland for Labor Day. (about 1 hour from Orlando)
We're childless
(real issues, Jenn...unlike you), but there were TONS of families there with children enjoying the huge park, climbing trees (there's even an Alice in Wonderland tree), swinging on swings, playing in the awesome playground, walking on the tree-level canopy walk, enjoying the great nature center's exhibits, in the butterfly house seeing butterflies flying about, playing in the little springhead/watering hole/creek. I could go on.
It's an absolutely gorgeous park - FREE. If we lived closer to Lakeland, we'd be there every week.
(seriously, if you're ever in the area and love the outdoors, you guys have to go there -

They have a place to eat lunch there (low cost- sandwiches, burgers, salad bar, etc.) (and there's an ice cream shop, a café with Starbucks, a gift shop, etc.)
Normally, there's a wonderful children's museum open too but it was closed that day.
Nonetheless, they could have taken the boys out in the fresh air and had a complete blast...but they're selfish so they dragged them around a
bleeping mall. Sorry, TWO malls on Labor Day.
