A Day of Play in May

My sons and I like to get outside whenever we get a chance. Whether it’s to a beach, local park, or festival we are there! When they get older I plan on taking them on hiking trails and maybe even a little rock climbing. Until then, we’ll stick to the stuff that they’re physically able to do (without me having to end up hauling them on my back) and will enjoy. We usually leave the house to have fun and enjoy the outdoors, but we hardly ever enjoy our backyard. I know it sounds weird since we like being outdoors, but it’s true. This time we decided to make a change and wanted to enjoy a day of play in our very own backyard.
When I asked my babies what activities they wanted to do, they both agreed that bubble blowing was the main thing they wanted to do. Yes, it sounds simple but it is tons of fun for kids. They get to run around and jump high trying to catch the bubbles. They also get turns at blowing them.
I couldn’t believe how long they wanted to just play with bubbles and not do anything else. It just amazes me at how the little things can keep kids entertained for a while. They finally got tired of blowing bubbles after about a good thirty minutes.
Of course, after all of that running around they needed something to drink. We always have Tampico on hand. The fruit-flavored beverage offers flavors such as Mango Punch, Island Punch, and Kiwi-Strawberry Punch. It’s sold in more than 50 countries and can easily be found at a local grocer. I also love that it is value-priced!
After drinking their thirst-quenching Tampico, they were ready to play again. I recently introduced them to the Frisbee and have been trying to show my oldest how to properly hold it and throw it. Right now my youngest, who just turned two, just throws it any way he can because he’s not that coordinated yet. My oldest just had to get his throw right, so attempt, after attempt, after attempt he finally figured it out! Now he can’t get enough of it! We played Frisbee tag and just threw it back-and-forth to see who would drop it first.
We really enjoyed our day of play in May and can’t wait until our next backyard fun day!
What activities do you and your family do in your backyard to enjoy the nice weather?
My family and I always have BBQs and hang out with friends in the backyard. It’s a great place to spend quality time together! He is absolutely ADORABLE and looks like a happy kid!
Thank you so much, Jeni! We also love having BBQ’s with our family and friends!
We are outside all the time, too! I am so happy that the weather is finally warming up around here so they can get outside more.
Yes, I’m so happy the weather changed!
Bubbles are entertaining no matter how old you get! We are hoping to get a new trampoline for our backyard this year!!
A trampoline sounds like so much fun!
Spring and summer are the perfect seasons to enjoy BBQs and outdoor adventures. Looking forward to spend some quality time outside in the next coming months.
What a fun way to enjoy the weather! You definitely have to have some refreshing juice to refuel with!
Playing with the kids will always be fun and rewarding. No matter where you are or what activity you choose to do. I love that you are also keeping them refreshed and hydrated! That’s important especially now that the days are warmer.
When my daughter was little, we use to spend a lot of time outside playing with bubbles and side walk chalk. Nowadays my husband and I like to cook out in the back yard and sit around the fireplace.
We don’t usually play outside but if the weather is nice, we usually go out for a long walk.
I love these warm May days after it’s rained for a week. We love to sit outside and blow bubbles, too.
Kids can definitely entertain themselves with the simplest of things. Even a big box can provide them with something to do. That’s one great thing about being a child. You find the fun in everything.
It’s been raining here for days now. I can’t wait for those beautiful May weather days again! It’s always good to be outside enjoying all that sunshine!
I am sure your sons will get better at throwing and playing frisbee. We are an outdoor fans too so we are always out doing stuff during warm weather.
What a great way of celebrating spring season, I love outdoor activities
I LOVE playing with bubbles with my niece! Her giggles are the most beautiful thing in the world and we always have so much fun!
My kids love to play outside. I bought a bubble maker for the backyard and they LOVE it! They’re out there forever chasing bubbles. Between that at sidewalk chalk – they are good!
You guys are too cute! Love the thumbs up shot!
Oh my goodness such a cutie!! These pictures are great! I love spending time outside with friends and family, especially in the summer!
