One of the joys of summer is watching my children enjoy playing outdoors. I love that summer is the time that they become best friends again and they create so many memories and adventures together (well, when they aren’t fighting!) While we are in the middle of a heatwave here in the NorthEast my kids have become sunkissed pool jumpers. Hayley, my 5 year old just passed her swim test at the Life Time Athletic pool. This was a huge accomplishment for her that she worked so hard for with swim lessons and practicing with us for weeks and weeks. Derek is a little fish, he spends more time under the water than outside of it. No matter where we go, my kids find the pool and away they go!
When we can’t be in the water Hayley and Derek love to run free in our backyard practicing their Ninja Warrior skills, running through our sprinkler, flying high on the swings and playing fetch with our pup Finnegan. We try to supply them with enough outdoor toys to keep them occupied, having fun and enjoying all that summer has to offer.
Just because the sun goes down doesn’t mean we want our fun to end. Hayley and Derek love to gather up all our flashlights to take their famous winter “missions” outside to find “bad guys” and to hunt lightening bugs. Armed with red plastic solo cups, backpacks filled with fake food and costumes the kids can spend hours hunting all corners of our backyard. This is where the Energizer® Vision HD+ Focus LED Headlight comes in extra handy. Energizer’s high performance headlights are just what they need for all their summertime adventures that require their hands be free.
The Energizer® Fusion LED Folding Lantern is awesome when the kids want to light up the clubhouse on their swingset or light up the yard while playing tag. Hayley likes to be in charge, younger sibling issue, so holding the Energizer® Fusion LED Folding Lantern to turn it on and off while playing outside makes her feel like she’s running the game.
They are even known to make provisions for the weather. When it’s raining we bring the fun inside for an indoor camp out. There is no need to stop any of the summer fun. We have tee-pee, books, games and more plus all our Energizer® EcoAdvanced™ batteries to keep all our toys and electronic running. Both kids have a true fear of bad weather, I have learned that having a plan for them helps keep them calm when storms roll through. This includes games to play, heading to our tee-pee and both of them knowing where their lights are if we lose power. We have been keeping our Energizer® Fusion LED Folding Lantern in the living room so it’s always in our sight and ready to use if we lose our lights.
