Vacation in our own backyard

We have been wanting for some time to add lighting to our back porch. We love to be outside, especially in the evening, but with one measly little light it gets hard to see anything past dusk.

Saturday evening we had planned to grill outside, light the fire pit, have fun, etc. But we overslept from our afternoon naps and did not wake up until after 6:00 p.m. I looked at Chris and said there is no way we can do all we want to do in the amount of daylight we have left. And that was it....He loaded Anna up in the car, they made a run to Target and tada....


BEAUTIFUL BACKYARD LIGHTING!! It is just perfect and the kids were so excited. They kept saying over and over again how they felt like we were on "vacation". A vacation in our own yard, it doesn't get much better than that. Nan even came over to join in the fun...

Let's be clear about one thing....Nan does not "jump" on the trampoline, but she will climb on and lay down to look at the stars :)

We all had a great night and are looking forward to many more nights like it in the future. So, if you are ever bored on a Saturday night, stop by and see if we are in the backyard...

I promise you will have fun!!
