North Substation Grand Opening!!

On March 24th the Henderson police department had the public grand opening of the new, "all green", north substation. To help in the celebration the city had a block party at the park in our neighborhood. It was so much fun! There was yummy food, tons of activities for the kids, lots of booths introducing local businesses and city programs to the neighborhood, a demonstration by the K-9 unit, and the mounted police had their horses out there for everyone to see and ask questions about. There was perfect weather for the event and so our family just walked everywhere. To top it all off, our family made the 11:00 news! Sweet! :) We are excited about having this new station near our home and hopefully, it'll prompt some good changes in our "old", yet wonderful, neighborhood!

UL clockwise: Clint (holding Carson), Jaron, Emma and Talli checking out the police horses. They were so beautiful and cool lookin' (and a little intimidating to tell the truth); Jaron and Emma during the tour at the SWAT teams demo. The kids had cute questions for the guys and got to hold their body shields (very heavy!); Clint and Carson; Me (holding Lily), jaron, emma and talli. We stayed with the horses for quite a while (we were all intriqued by them).

So where exactly is that? I was trying to figure out where it is from the pictures but I couldn't quite tell.
