4 Relaxing Backyard Activities To Enjoy With Your Family

The calendar says summer is over, but don’t let that keep you stuck inside. Your backyard is designed for year-round fun and relaxation. Let’s look at four relaxing backyard activities to enjoy with your family. Get some fresh air and make lifelong memories without leaving your home.

Paint a Canvas

Painting on a canvas is always relaxing. There’s something extra lovely about painting outside. Fresh air and the beauty of nature are the perfect backdrop when creating art.

Try this fun idea when deciding what to paint. Sit in the same spot and focus on a tree in your yard, every season. Paint how it looks in the spring, summer, fall, and winter. You’ll all enjoy the time, and the kids will get a bit of an education. Remind everyone you’re out to have fun. Dress according to the weather and remember that art is an expression, and there’s no competition.

The Warmth of a Fire

In the summer we relish an outdoor fire in the evenings as the long, hot days wind down. Then as fall and winter roll in, backyard fires keep us warm well into the night. Fire pits are the best option when looking for a fire source at home. Here are some ideas for using a backyard fire pit:

  • Roast marshmallows: Roasting marshmallows is the perfect after dinner fun activity as a family. Keep skewers made for the fire on hand, along with graham crackers, marshmallows, and chocolate bars for those nights you’re feeling spontaneous. S’mores are always in season.

  • Roast hot dogs: Kids love roasting dinner on a stick. Camping isn’t required for a hot dog roast. Keep dinner simple and create a new family tradition.

  • Just stay warm: You need no excuse to light up the fire pit. The ambience and warmth a fire brings is reason enough to gather family and friends for a night of fun and conversation. Fill the hot cocoa mugs, grab some blankets, and enjoy.

Snowbound

If you are lucky enough to live in a climate with snow, get outside and enjoy it. Right in your own backyard, you can spend a day as a family having fun in the snow. Here are a few ideas:

  • Build a snowman.

  • Build a snow fort.

  • Have a snowball fight.

  • Eat fresh snow as ice cream.

  • Practice cross country skiing.

  • Sled if you have a hill.

  • Make snow angels.

Gaze at the Stars

Crisp, cool nights bring brilliant skies illuminated with stars. Bring out the giggles in the kids when the weather is cold. Lay on sleeping bags in your winter coats, looking at the autumn and winter skies, then enjoy it again in spring and summer.
