Stars Share Their Summer Plans

from www.celebritybabyscoop.com

 

With the warm months upon us, Celebrity Baby Scoop asked some of our favorite celebrity families to share their upcoming summertime plans.

Continue reading about Tia and Tamera Mowry‘s plans with their sons, to Sarah Michelle Gellar‘s busy summer, to Jewel‘s great escape from the heat of Texas.

    Tamera Mowry-Housley:

Tia & Tamera star Tamera Mowry-Hardrict and husband Adam Housley are parents to 7-month-old son Aden.

The Sister, Sister alum, 34, opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their upcoming summertime plans.

    “My husband and I have a house up in Northern California,” Tamera shared. “We live in the Napa area and we love going wine-tasting. I also enjoy staying at home, relaxing, and spending time at our house up there with each other.”

She added: “Traveling is huge for us. Aden is a wonderful traveler; he started traveling at six-weeks-old, so he’s definitely a pro now. We like traveling all over; I love Italy, Paris, Dublin, and London.”

    Tia Mowry-Hardrict:

Tamera’s twin sister, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, and her husband Cory Hardrict are parents to nearly 2-year-old son Cree.

The reality star mama opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their favorite summer activities.

    “Oh my gosh! I love to travel during the summer,” Tia gushed. “I love just being by the beach, sipping on pina coladas, and watching Cree play in the sand and get his diaper all soggy from the water [laughs]“

She added: “I like simple stuff like that. I really like just hanging out in the backyard. It’s so fun to make lunch, sit on a blanket, and play outside. Those are really great moments. I also love going to farmer’s markets in the summertime, because you can hang out with family and browse fruits and vegetables, and there are also kid’s rides.”

    Sarah Michelle Gellar:

Star couple Sarah Michelle Gellar, 36, and Freddie Prinze, Jr., 37, are parents to daughter Charlotte, 3, and 9-month-old son Rocky.

SMG opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their plans this summer.

 “We will take a few road trips, but I start work fairly soon,” she said of her upcoming sitcom The Crazy Ones. “And it’s California, so it’s summer here year-round.”

    Mayim Bialik:

The Big Bang Theory Mayim Bialik is busy mom to sons Miles, 7, and Fred, 4.

The Blossom alum, 37, opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about how she’ll spend the first summer since her divorce from the kids’ father, Michael Stone.

    “I am taking the boys to a resort in Mexico, which I will probably blog about,” Mayim shared. “We’re also going camping, because we go camping every summer. We will also do a lot of normal at-home stuff like go to be beach once or twice a week. During the year, I don’t get to see a lot of my girlfriends who have kids that my kids are friends with, so we like to spend the summers sitting on the beach and letting the kids play with each other. Then we can have mom time.”

Antonio Sabàto, Jr.:

General Hospital alum Antonio Sabàto, Jr. is dad to three kids: Jack, 18, Mina, 11, and Antonio, 2.

The actor-model, 41, recently opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their summertime plans.

    “Cheryl’s mom and sister are coming from Hawaii to visit us for three weeks,” he shared. “Usually in the summers we stay home, and at the end of the summer we’ll take our vacation and go to Kauai.”

He added: “Depending on my shooting schedule that might have to be pushed to Christmas, but we typically go sometime in September.”

    Helen Slater:

The Good Mother actress Helen Slater - mom to 17-year-old daughter Hannah - opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about her plans this summer.

“I’m making my fourth CD, Greek Mythology for children, “she shared. “It will be an audio book with music.”

    Elisabeth Röhm:

The Client List’s Elisabeth Röhm - who raises 5-year-old Easton with fiancé Ron Anthony – recently opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their upcoming summer plans.

    “I plan ahead and make sure that at least 80% of her time is organized,” she shared. “From beach camp to nature camp and gymnastics, Easton loves activities and being around her friends.”

She added: “I’m sure I’ll be working for part of the summer, so planning ahead is very advantageous.”

    Melissa Rycroft:

Reality star Melissa Rycroft and husband Tye Strickland are parents to 2-year-old daughter Ava.

The Bachelor alum, 30, opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their fun trips planned for this summer.

“We have a couple fun trips planned,” Melissa shared. “We always go to the lake for holidays, and we’re going to go down to the beach. We actually have a fun European trip planned for the three of us, since we’ve never been—well, obviously Ava has never been, and I’ve never been—so we’ve got a lot of travel set up.”

    Garcelle Beauvais:

Actress Garcelle Beauvais is proud single mom to three sons: Oliver, 22, and 5-year-old twins Jax and Jaid. The Franklin & Bash star, 46, opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their fun plans in NYC this summer.

“[I'm] taking the boys to New York for their first visit,” she shared. “Going to do all the fun touristy things, but in sure we’ll end up at FAO Swartz at least more than once.”

    Amy Grant:

Grammy Award-winning singer Amy Grant and husband, country legend Vince Gill, are parents to five children: Jenny, 31, Matt, 25, Millie, 23, Sarah, 20, Corinna, 12.

The singer-songwriter, 52, opened up to Celebrity Baby Scoop about their favorite summertime activities.

    “We love sleeping in late and cooking,” she shared. “We have some pretty monstrous wrecks in the kitchen, because it is the hub of the house. When you start cooking something or baking, everybody comes in and one thing leads to the next and you plan something fun.”

She added: “We also love playing cards and ping pong. We always have a ping pong table set up, as it’s a great way to get your heart racing for ten minutes. We also go camping every summer and I really enjoy that. Even though a lot of the kids are grown, we still try doing things that are fun and we say, ‘Join us if you can!’”

I believe three of the Duke games in China are going to be televised on ESPN (imagine that) and how about Cal's trip to Scandinavia, Stanford to Spain, and Drake to Australia and New Zealand.  Great spots.  And how about Duke's side trip to Dubai.  You can do that when you are Duke.
