Fun things to do outside.

Now that warmer weather is finally around the corner, and the days are getting longer, there are plenty of fun things to do outside for every family.. Whether you’re planning a family outing, a friendly gathering or a romantic night with your significant other, we have compiled some of our favorite things to do out on your lawn/backyard or outdoor living space.

• Have a scavenger hunt 

• • • A scavenger hunt in your own backyard can be fun for all ages! You can even choose a theme to up the experience. Hide items beforehand or just use what is naturally available, but use riddles or odd descriptions to make them think about it.  Sugar Magnolia is a great local shop to get some goodies to hide!

• Plan a picnic 

• • • No better way to enjoy your manicured lawn than to break out the largest blanket you have and enjoy an afternoon lounging in your backyard. Picnics are the best opportunities to try a new sandwich recipe or just make your favorite comfort sandwich. Wine and cheese are always a great addition!

• Enjoy a sunset

• • • Enjoying a sunset definitely has the most romantic potential. For friends and family try bringing some finger paints or watercolors. After the sunset the little ones can play flashlight tag or catch fireflies. You could even turn the evening into a movie night with a projector. 

• Water Balloon fight 

• • • Nothing screams nice weather like a good ol fashioned water balloon fight. You could have teams or just have everyone for themselves but no matter the rules, no one is allowed to leave dry.

• S’mores 

• • Our all time favorite on this list, nothing can compare to winding down by the firepit with a fresh melty gooey s’more. It’s virtually impossible to have any stress after eating one. For a new take on an old classic try adding a peanut butter cup to the mix. Pic included, thank us later.

No matter what you decide to do out in the warm weather nothing is better than not leaving your own space to do it. Freshly trimmed lawns and spacious outdoor living spaces will really open up a world of possibilities to you and your family.
