Backyard Summer of Fun!! That’s how we like to refer to summer 2020.
We’ve put together the ultimate list of outdoor toys for backyard fun. Now we’re not suggesting purchasing everything for your backyard. But adding a few things will help make this a SUMMER OF BACKYARD FUN. With vacations and camps canceled, you may even be able to shift that budget into investing in your backyard, and more specifically backyard fun.
Honestly, its kind of nice to be spending more time in our backyard. We bought a house specifically with a nice lot, put in a pool, and a few years ago added patio furniture. But always being on the go, we haven’t enjoyed it as much as we should. I think so far this year I’ve spent more time in our backyard than I’ve spent in since we’ve owned the house (cumulatively)! While there are many things I hate about quarantine, slowing down and spending more time with my family is one good thing that has come out of this. I think when all this is over, many of us will not rush back to our over-scheduled always on the go lifestyles.

You never too old for water play. I think I want to buy the unicorn sprinkler for myself – child of the 80s and I still love all things unicorns.

Who’s Hungry?
Spending time outsdie will make you hungry! Anything cold is perfect to cool off. Don’t forget drinks because I’m sure everyone is thirsty. We’ve had a snow cone machine for years and its always a hit when kids come over to play. Don’t forget to stock some paper snow cone cups and a bunch of syrups because the kids love making their own concoctions.
