S’mores by the Fire Pit
Whether it is a warm summer night or a chilly fall day, you and your family can enjoy making s’mores by the fire pit. Your children will enjoy the sweet and sticky treat, and you will love to see their smiling faces and hear their infectious laughter. Plus, when it is cold outside you can cozy up with a blanket and a warm cup of cider. These are the kinds of evenings when memories are made.
Movie Nights
Outdoor living areas are the ultimate spot for a family movie night outdoors beneath the stars. Whether you have a designated spot for an outdoor TV, or you simply set up a projector and a giant screen in your backyard, you can lounge comfortably in patio chairs and enjoy a good flick with the family. Don’t forget the popcorn, candy, and ice-cold beverages. Your children will remember these moments fondly.
Game Nights
Does your family enjoy playing Uno, Monopoly, or Candyland? Take game night outdoors to your paver patio. Your patio table could work perfectly for some friendly competition and game playing. There are also numerous yard games available, such as cornhole, giant checkers, tic tac toe, bucket ball, giant Yahtzee, giant Connect Four, or even giant Jenga. All of these games are perfect for playing on your patio. Take it up a notch by requiring the “losers” to do something silly or to take over a winner’s chores for a day. Or perhaps the winner could choose the movie you will watch or the snacks that you will enjoy on movie night.
Cooking Together
When you have an outdoor kitchen, you don’t have to worry about the mess that your children will make when cooking. The cleanup will be much easier outdoors than it would be inside. You and your family can prepare and cook a meal together outdoors. The little ones could help clean the potatoes for grilling, while the older ones make hamburger patties, and you do the actual grilling. It can be a fun experience for everyone.
Alfresco Dining
Once your meal is ready, it is time to gather around your patio dining table and enjoy the delicious eats. You can create the perfect ambiance by adding fun string lighting to the overhead pergola, or by playing music. Use this time to connect with your loved ones. How about asking everyone to share what their favorite part of the day was or one thing that they are grateful for? Great conversation can happen more easily when you are all together, enjoying a meal in the fresh air and under the stars, on your new paver patio.
