I think it's great that so many of us bloggers have taken a few steps away from the computer to spend more time with our families during these summer months. If you have the chance, we'd love for you to write up a few of your favorite summer time, backyard, or neighborhood activities. Some families host clubs while others garden. We would love to hear what you enjoy doing together! (Please keep in mind that these can be for the children or the grown-ups! Summer is a great time for all of us to be outdoors!) Please feel free to link to past activities or write a new post.
Our family, outdoor fun usually takes place right in the backyard. Unlike a lot of families, we don't go to the local parks very often. We tend to stay put. We're pretty low-key, as you can see.
swimming |
silliness: plastic bag kites |
ball |
the swing set: usually for physical, not mental, exercise |
So how does your summer enjoy these summer months?

These are great summertime backyard fun ideas! With all these great ideas and play sets, no need to travel to a park! Absolutely love that smores pic - so cute :-)
ReplyDeleteI still think you have the coolest pool EVER! It's awesome.
ReplyDeleteAnd if you come up with an answer for an adult slip n slide, let me know too!
What fun you've all had this summer!!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't do this one at first because, with the kids grown and a very small patch of back yard now, we haven't spent much time there in ages. But then some memories came to mind, and I shared them here:

I love that pool! I always wanted a swing set, but we could never "swing it" when the kids were small.
I would love an adult slip and slide! I did one time, when very hot and very pregnant, climb into the kiddie pool!
