Saturday started out as a gloomy, rainy day. Everyone spent most of the day in the house.

Late afternoon the sun began to shine and we took full advantage of Family Game Night outside.

We started with a game of Croquet. We love playing this as a family because even little one can join in the fun.

Nadia had just as much fun running back and forth to the swing set as she did hitting her ball.

Another one of our favorite outdoor games is Boochie. We discovered this game last year. It is kind of a kid’s version to Bocce Ball. Each person has a ball and a hoop. One person throws a bigger foam ball out and then everyone tries to get their ball and hoop close to the orange ball.

The orange ball helps determine points. Each person has a wrist band to keep track of their points until one person wins.

This game is full of laughter and silliness. Perfect for family outdoor fun.

We couldn’t pass up this beautiful night without gathering around the fire pit. Some of our favorite family moments are around the fire. And of course, you can’t have a fire without smores.

The wood was still a little wet from the winter so starting a fire proved to be a little difficult.

Marshmallow down, between Madi shaking her stick and blowing out the fire, the marshmallow had no hope for survival.

Not sure where Nadia found the Santa Hat.

What a perfect Family Night! Have you started spending time outdoors as a family?
