Nearly every evening we go out for a stroll in the neighborhood and explore something new.
One night we walked down to the lake and over to the rose gardens. They were absolutely stunning. We enjoyed smelling all of the varieties and soaking up the evening sun. As we passed the band shell on the lake, live music played as couples and families laid on blankets enjoying the sounds.
Another night we walked to see the "elf tree" ... a place where children can leave notes for the elf and get a response in return.
We are so close to the wading pool that a late night dip in the pool before bed is no big deal. Just load up the little red wagon and off we go.
We love bike rides around the lakes (kids in tow) and after dinner trips to the ice cream shop. Yum!
Living in our new neighborhood makes me feel like I am on vacation...it just has a resort like feel. We are loving it!
