AHHHH, SUMMER. Time for backyard pool parties and family vacations. Time for kids to run after the ice cream truck when the telltale sound of its music turns onto your street to secure the perfect sweet treat to beat the heat. For the loud explosion of fireworks on the Fourth of July, the shriveled fingertips that signify too much time in the pool, and the soothing feeling of aloe vera on that patch of skin that always seems to turn red, no matter how much sunscreen you slather on.

If you’re looking for ways to fill your long summer days, we at Hendersonville Lifestyle have some suggestions! We’ve got activities to keep you, your kids and even your pets occupied. Check out our list of the best hot spots, ice cream and other outdoor spaces to hit up with the kids.

If you’re looking to stick closer to home, we show you some great luxury outdoor living. Maybe you’ll pick up a few ideas to spruce up your own outdoor living area. We also show you some easy treats, yard games and summer cocktails you can enjoy

SERVING THOSE WHO HAVE SERVED AND SACRIFICED ARTICLE AND PHOTOGRAPHY LYNN BOWLES

HERO HUNT, INC. is a nonprofit charity in Middle Tennessee that works with military, police, firefighters and first responders who have been injured in the line of duty by providing them a way to get out hunting with other men and women who may be enduring similar situations.

Joe Towers and his wife started the company in 2012 as their way of giving back. Joe is a veteran who currently works for the metro police department.

"There are a lot of organizations that do things to help military veterans, but being a police officer there are a lot of injuries and dangers at home,” he says.

When firemen, police officers, EMTs and first responders get injured in the line of duty, they go from working and having a daily routine to nothing at all. Many suffer from depression and PTSD following their injuries.

Hero Hunt started with just deer hunting and now have moved into turkey hunts, dove hunts, fishing and pig hunts in Alabama and Texas. Candidates for the program have come from as far away as California to participate in the hunts.

For more information, visit HeroHuntInc.org.
