Dear Grovite,
November is the time to be thankful, a time to remember and embrace those who enrich our lives. At Coconut Grove, we're thankful for a lot of things, but we're most thankful for you! Our amazing community, who makes our growth not just possible, but worthwhile.
This issue is very special to us because we're dedicating it to all of our amazing children and their families.
We wanted to feature the endless activities Coconut Grove has to offer in a safe environment. Whether they are biking around, walking the dog, or hunting for cool rocks, there are endless fun things to do out in the fresh air.
Also, there are tons of kid-friendly places to spend the most memorable time with your little ones, from the best ice cream shops and bakeries in town to beautiful book shops and play spaces.
We wanted to invite you to explore the kid's world in Coconut Grove and enjoy the best time of the year surrounded by beautiful views, nature, colorful spaces, and a cheerful holiday atmosphere.
And as if that were not enough, we invite you to enjoy this weekend's activities. On Saturday, join us for a Family Karate Class with White Tiger & Dragon Martial Arts at Peacock Park followed by a beautiful dog-friendly day of live music, food, shopping, and relaxation at the Barkzaar at Barnacle State Park.
On Sunday, bring the whole family for a fun hip-hop-inspired workout at Peacock Park.
Here's wishing you a wonderful weekend... may every day bring about a harvest of possibilities!
