Summer at home

There is no shortage of fun things to do here during the summertime. Here's a look at some of the activities we did consistently all summer long . . . .

TENNIS

We attempted to get in to tennis this year and made it a family event. Luke began taking it very serious and wanted to play all day and night!

Drew had his first tennis lessons and loved it! Here he is practicing

some of the drills he learned from his coach.

POOLS

In the desert heat we have to get to a pool AT LEAST a few times a week! Luckily there are plenty of great options for taking a dip.

Drew's favorite thing is going on the water slide over and over and over. . . . good thing his buddy Ethan is there to go with him!

Luke is really becoming

a great swimmer.

He loves wearing his goggles,

even if they fill up with water!

Blake's first summer and he is already a water bug!!

PARKS

We have wonderful parks here. Many that are in walking distance from our house. All the parks in Henderson have water pads so the kids can cool off from the heat!
Every week we meet friends for dinner at the park!

THE DISTRICT

On weekends we go to The District,

an area with shops and restaurants. There is a

Panera bread there, of course! Here is

our friend, Tarin taking the boys and their

friends to the back to make Black Cherry

smoothies. Yum!

We love to listen to live music in the plaza. The kids dance and get frozen yogurt. It's the perfect place to take them to get their energy out before bedtime!

Ahhh misters!!! They are a MUST here!

The Carousel at the District is really beautiful. In the summer they show movies right by it in the evenings.

All the summer activities wear Daddy out!

Early this summer Drew, our little entrapeneur, wanted to earn some money by selling lemonade! He had his first lemonade stand and did pretty well. We had a few friends stop by and even met some new neighbors!
