Summer - the perfect time for neighborhood socials, late-night hangouts and, of course, backyard barbecues. It is the season to spend time outdoors. The good news is you don't need to move to an exotic and luxurious location for an exceptional outdoor experience. Your backyard is the real thing. It has all that you may need for a memorable summer season, and with these 5 tips you can enjoy your backyard with your family even more this year.
A campfire gives a totally exciting experience particularly in the chilly evenings. This is made a reality by finding a simple fit pit and some nice chairs to place around it. Grill some hot dogs and s'mores for your loved ones, put your feet up, and enjoy the sounds of a crackling fire and the summer evening.
Everything is better with the right company, and that includes your backyard. Choose a day with favorable weather so as to enjoy the cool summer breezes and sunshine, and choose a theme (but don’t go overboard – it’s a party not a planning chore!).One easy theme is a garden party. Just arrange your flowers and ornamentals around the seating points and serve fresh flavors like mozzarella, basil, fresh fruits, fresh baked goods and tomato skewers alongside your barbecue.
Music and movies have proven to be among the best sources of entertainment. They freshen our minds and make us relaxed. Get a nice music playlist for your company, some wireless speakers and stream the music with no interruption. Watching movies requires comfortable seating options and an outdoor screen. You can as well set up a projector and a white sheet (or grab an affordable outdoor projector screen off of Amazon.com) and you are ready to go. Get some snacks and drinks for you and your loved ones while enjoying the movie under the stars. Don’t forget a blanket for everyone in case the weather gets colder than expected.
