A Splash Pad

This idea is one the whole family will be sure to love. A splash pad is extremely easy to set up in the backyard and you only need to attach a hose and the fun will begin. This takes a sprinkler to the next level. It usually sprays water upwards from the ground nozzles out of the pad’s rain deck. The water is shallow so there is little risk of drowning for children. This often eases the minds of parents, but it’s still a good idea to always keep an eye on the little ones. Have fun with the whole family and even the dog will want to join in! 

Misting System

During the mid summer heat, installing a misting system will be a real life saver. Go ahead and hook up a couple misting fans or set up a complete misting system. Once it’s installed, you will stay cool all day long while you read, eat, entertain and relax out on your patio. You can even adjust the speed and intensity to fit your preference and keep you the perfect amount of cool. Your backyard will become your all time favorite room in your house.

Set up a Slip ’N’ Slide

Bring back the memories of your favorite summer camp activity with this backyard activity. You can try your hand and get creative by making your own slip ’n’ slide. This could be a great summer craft to get the the whole family involved. Grab a tarp, cut it to the size you want and voila you have the base of your slip ’n’ slide. You can add noodles to act as bumpers for extra safety precautions. If arts and crafts aren't your thing, you can buy one at any store that sells outdoor equipment or summer essentials. Trust us, with a slip ’n’ slide you’ll be the coolest house on the block.
