We are in the s-l-o-w process of our backyard makeover and it has me dreaming of fun-filled days playing outside games! The deck is almost finished and I can almost taste the cocktail I will be enjoying while watching my girls run around and have fun. We have recently built a “swurfer” (that is a hybrid swing-surf board) for them to play on and they are loving it (the tutorial for that is coming soon). But the addition of our swurfer led to me looking for other fun ways we can spend time outside as a family. Y'all there are only about a zillion fun outside games and equipment to keep little kids and big kids entertained for hours! I put together my favorites into one list. There are so many fun outside games to choose from.
