Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start to summer on my calendar and summer means F-U-N!
We have relatively so few days of good weather here on the North Coast that I like to make the most of them while they are around. This weekend, for example, was one of those rare instances when we had great weather for a holiday weekend. That basically never happens! So over the weekend Mr. DH and I planned an “outdoor movie night”.
We took the flatscreen TV with a build-in DVD player that I bought at Wal-Mart a couple of years ago and hooked it up so we could watch a movie outside under the stars. I brought out a long outdoor extension cord and sat the TV on a milk crate. Then I inflated a queen-size air matress and we were ready for some hot fun in the summertime!!
Now, I can’t say that Mr. DH was all that keen on the idea at first – he thought it was going to be “so much work. Can’t we just watch a movie inside?” I stuck to my “we are going to have fun” guns and set things up outside and in the end, he was happy I did. Afterwards, we laid on our back and studied the stars. We were surprised to discover the Big Dipper ended at our chimney. Who knew?
I’d love for you to share some of your “hot-fun-in-the-summertime” ideas so we can all make 2010 the best summer ever! (Here’s a link to the song HFITS. Enjoy!)
