Henderson Happenings

We have been busy... in such a good way! We've been on so fun adventures and made some awesome memories!

Super Hero Kids
Harvey got a card from G and Pa in the mail that had a super hero mask on it so naturally Trevi wanted one too!



We needed a new ducky thermometer for the pool and well, it was way back in the back!

Trevi was willing to climb for it

living the life!

We had our friends over and the twins and Harvey swam and then warmed up!
