Summer is slipping away… for those of us not in Florida. While the rest of the country is preparing for Fall and Winter, we are in the land of eternal sunshine and summer. This makes me an expert on what to do when it’s still sunny and hot outside. For a lot of us, we have backyards but they can sometimes be difficult to maintain with such hot weather. The grass usually dies and the flowers and plants are always so thirsty, so sometimes it calls for other solutions. Numerous Florida residents are installing composite decking into their backyards so that they can still enjoy the sun in their backyards without having to comply to any gardening. The decking also creates a great space for outdoor cooking with BBQ’s and grills, an even surface for pools to keep cool and even an area for garden furniture if sunbathing is on the agenda. As the decking is usually used as a social area, some people even add gas fire pits to keep themselves warm if they sit on the decking when it starts going colder. Of course, as with anything, these fire pits can need maintenance sometimes. This could mean that homeowners might need some fire pit parts in their home, just in case the fire pit stops working. With spare parts in your home, you should be able to get the fire pit back up and running quickly, allowing you to continue enjoying your time outside. Deckings are a great way to utilize unused outdoor space and enjoy the sun all year round without having to even leave home. Of course, there are times we are going to want to venture out and enjoy the sun elsewhere so here’s a list of some activities that are still possible with this glorious sunshine.
- Picnic at the park: Find a shady tree and bring your picnic basket filled with yummy goodies.
- Backyard Barbeque: Hoenstly, it’s the best combo of healthy and unhealthy.
- Pool Party: Don’t forget your water guns
- Beach day
- Water park: Go on, try that big slide you’re not so sure about. What could go wrong?
- Strawberry picking: And afterwards/during… strawberry eating!!
- Mini golfing or Top Golf
- Make your own slip and slide: All you need is a hose and some plastic tarp. Warning… move the rocks.
- Ice cream: And/or milkshakes.
- Make summer drinks: Pina Coladas, Mojitos and Margaritas all day!
