7 Unique Summer Night Activities

7-Unique-Summer-Night-ActivitiesIt’s almost summertime! The weather is getting hotter, school is almost out, and all of our flowers are in full bloom. Excitement is in the air and it’s time to start planning some fun, unique summer night activities for your family. I love coming up with fun ideas for my husband and I to do with our daughter after work, or even just for the two of us once she goes to bed. Family time is so important to me and I always have a blast with my little family. Here are 7 Unique Summer Night Activities that you can try, or maybe they will inspire you to think of some in your own way!

 

IMG_5330Front Porch Conversations

I love sitting on our front porch and we don’t do it nearly enough. After dinner, grab your drinks and head outside to just sit and talk on the front porch. The kids can play in the front yard, or you can wait until they go to bed. Its nice to just sit outside and soak up the weather.

 

IMG_5324Driveway Picnic Dinner

Take your dinner out to the driveway and have a picnic! Its a fun way to get outside and do something different. If dinner seems like too much to carry outside, maybe just take your dessert! Nestlé® just came out with NEW Nestlé® Drumstick® S’mores and they come in three delicious flavors: Toasted Marshmallow with Fudge, Toasted Marshmallow and Chocolate Marshmallow. Nestlé® Drumstick® S’mores bring out all the delicious flavor of S’mores with marshmallow flavored ice cream, and a rich graham cracker, chocolatey coating. They can be enjoyed by all and help bring people together in fun ways! You can even share your extras with your neighbors that walk by!

 

Walk around the neighborhood

I know what your thinking? How is this unique? I consider it unique, because I think people rarely take the time to slow down and do this anymore. Grab those strollers and take a walk around the neighborhood. You could even bake cookies for your neighbors and give them a little treat on their door.

 

Glow In The Dark Water Balloon Fight

If you have older kids, this might be fun with them or if you don’t, this would be super fun with your spouse. Fill up water balloons with glow bracelets in them. Wait until its pretty dark, and let the fun begin!

 

IMG_5332Outdoor Movie Night

You could set up a tent in the backyard, or even just a pallet of blankets and watch a movie. You could watch it on your laptop or even get fancy and rent a blow up screen and invite friends over.

 

 DIY Spa Night

This can be more romantic for you and your spouse, or more fun if you have a daughter. For you and your spouse, think warm bath, massages and wine. With kids, a fun foot spa and nail painting!

 

Go Bug Collecting or Flower Collecting

Basically, get out of the house and explore the neighborhood. Look at the small details, bugs, flowers, anything you don’t normally pay attention to. Its fun to see all of the different types of birds, and animals that live in your neighborhood too!

 

P.S. If your craving a NEW Nestlé® Drumstick® S’mores, visit your local grocery relater to purchase them or visit Drumstick.com to learn more.What activities does your family love to do in the Summer?

  • #ad Backyard BBQs are my favorite excuse to slow down, eat good food, and spend time with family ☀️🍗

This setup came together SO easily thanks to @SoloCup products — sturdy cups, dependable plates, and way less stress when hosting 🙌🏻

Hosting tip: keep the menu simple, make the setup fun, and use products that can actually handle a full plate of BBQ (& make clean up a breeze!) 😂

Menu tonight:
✨ Bacon wrapped BBQ chicken skewers
✨ Potato salad
✨ Chips + pickles
✨ Rolls
✨ Pink lemonade

Now who’s bringing dessert? 👀

  • What I served vs. What actually got eaten 💙❤️ #ad #OceanSprayPartner

I put together the cutest little summer snack board! Everything was festive and styled in red, white, & blue for the summer holidays & the @oceansprayinc Fireworks Cranberry Mix from @samsclub was hands down THE FAVORITE! 💥

It has Craisins® Dried Cranberries + popping candy clusters that make every bite feel like a celebration. 🎉 Everyone kept coming back for them, kids and adults. It was gone every time I turned around. This is staying in my rotation all summer for BBQs, pool days, all the hosting moments.
