mrgoodlifeWelcome April!
Did you see the prank a little girl played on her Oscar-winning mother, telling her that she ought to return the award? You gotta love April Fools’ Day – whose origin is still unknown, by the way, but it has become one of America’s most beloved unofficial holidays. Maybe its popularity has to do with the month itself; there’s something about April, right? Old folks tales assure there’s something in the air that makes kids more boisterous, as if something stirs inside us. The month where we shake off some of the coziness of the winter and fully embark on a spring adventure!
And since adventure is Miami’s middle name, we have a few suggestions on how to spend the rest of the month. Follow us:
Let’s start with some fun for the little ones:
The River Cities Festival. (April 14-16). Where can you enjoy three days of food, shopping, live entertainment, music, and more? The River Cities Festival! Have fun with the whole family whether your thing is salsa dancing, competing in a chili cook-off, eating the chili from a cook-off, running the annual 5K race, watching dog shows… The list goes on.

Perfect for all ages, the event showcases cattle and horse shows and offers a glimpse of farm life with animals, plants and crops.

Baynanza Biscayne Bay Cleanup. (April 15) How about we give some of our time and effort to the place that brings so much joy to our lives? On April 15, from 9 a.m. to noon, join an army of volunteers at 31 locations across Miami-Dade County working to clean up the bay’s shorelines. Volunteers will receive a free T-shirt, and students can earn community service hours. For more info, click HERE.
