Making your Home the Destination for Summer Memories

Your home is the new destination for summer memories! Clean up the back yard and break out the fire pit for s'mores and roasted starbusts. Starbursts?! Yes! Just as you would roast a marshmallow, put the starburst flavor of your choice on the roasting tool. Hold over fire and roast for three minutes or so. They are a treat your kids will love!

Have an outdoor concert in your backyard staring your talented musical friends. Set up a small stage and have blankets and treats for your guests.

All the neighborhood will be loving your home with your very own outdoor movie night. Set up a projector and a white sheet or screen. Project your favorite summer time movie. Sand Lot is a favorite for the summer and filmed right here in Utah!

Set up a hammock for your family to catch up on all their summer reading.

 Put up a couple tents in your back yard and have a sleep over for your family under the stars. Play cards and take photos for when your family has grown they can remember one of their favorite camping trips.

Ultimate Charades

Have every one write three names of people on tree separate pieces of paper. It can be anyone your brother's name, Justin Bieber, Oparh for example.

Put every ones folded pieces of paper into a bowl.

Split into two teams.

Have each person from the team be take turns acting out the names in the bowl, while being timed for two minutes.

first round the "actor" can talk and use actions.

second round can say one word

third round no words.

(The rounds end when you have gotten through everyone in the bowl. Then you put all the names back in the bowl and start again.)

How ever many people their group can guess gets that many points.

Take advantage of your backyard this summer, and before you know it your home will be a special place not just for your family but for your neighborhood and your friends.
