Oh, those summer nights!

Nothing beats hanging out, out of doors, on a warm summer night after the sun goes down

Here are some ideas to help you turn fleeting summer nights into lasting memories.

Bring the inside out

Create an outdoor “room.” It’s a great way to extend the square footage of your home, maximize the amount of time you can spend outside and squeeze every blissful moment out of those magical summer nights.

All you need is comfy seating, a table or two for food and drinks and maybe an outdoor rug to define the space. Add a basket of toys for the kids.

Go camping in your own backyard

Pitch a tent, buy yourself a cooler (this list of good coolers could be worth a look before you buy one) and fill it with goodies, make a fire, and roast hotdogs and marshmallows. You can even explore nature, play games and tell campfire stories. You’ll have a blast with your kids without ever having to pack the car. Best of all, if it rains or the tent collapses, you’ll have a place to go! You can also look at getting camping chairs for you and your family, they can come in handy in a lot of different ways (one is coming up).

Watch a sunset

The sun sets every single day, no matter where you live. Yet how often do we pause to appreciate nature’s daily delivery of beauty? Make a night of it this summer with the whole family.

Chase fireflies

It’s one of summer’s simplest pleasures. Depending on where you live, you can take your kids on this fun (and free) adventure right in your own backyard.

Stargaze

Become amateur astronomers for a night – no telescope required. See what you can spot with the naked eye, and have binoculars on hand for everyone to try. Watch for falling stars (and make wishes), find the man in the moon and spot the Big Dipper.

Have an outdoor movie night

Pay homage to the drive-in movie. At-home outdoor movie screens are all the rage, and you can even make your own. Round up some camping chairs, blankets and pillows, and pop plenty of popcorn.

When it’s time to say so-long to summer, keep the magic and memories alive by bringing a bit of your outdoor adventure in. Whatever the adventure, chances are, we’ve got a warmer for that!
