Summer Fun Ideas For Staying Close To Home

It is the season of warm afternoons vacationing at our summer spots or big backyard blowouts with all our family and friends. But due to vital social distancing guidelines, we won’t be able to do those activities as much this summer. So how do you make a great summer if you don’t have your very own swimming pool? Don’t give up completely on having summer fun! There are still several ways you can celebrate summertime. McLarty Daniel Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Bentonville would like to share some social-distance-safe ideas to do over the summer. 

BARBEQUE ANYWHERE, ANYTIME: Time to fire up the grill, break out the buns, and let’s have a cookout. Whether barbeque or steaks, you know there will be some smoke-flavored goodness. Play some lawn games like horseshoes with the kids, or have races on the Slip-N-Slide. For some of us staying indoors completely, consider recipes of cook-out staples you can make in your kitchen. Try making amazing pulled pork in the slow cooker, a rack of ribs, or brauts in the oven, Then top off your meal with some homemade ice cream or delicious watermelon slices. 

VIRTUAL PARTY!: Who said virtual parties can only be for birthdays? You can make any occasion a virtual party! Get family members and good friends to hang out via Zoom or on any video conferencing app. For your virtual party to have the spirit of summer, change your Zoom background to a festive summer location. Play video games with friends using online games that can be streamed by groups. 

CLASSIC SUMMER MOVIES: What better way to get into the summer mood than watching some classic summer flicks! Microwave some popcorn and make your favorite beverage and sit back and enjoy. Feel like camping? You can watch movies such as The Parent Trap, Wet Hot American Summer, and the classic Meatballs starring funnyman Bill Murray. Are up for a night of classic scary flicks?  Gather up your nerves and don’t jump out of your seat when you watch the original I Know What You Did Last Summer, Nightmare on Elm Street or Jaws.

We are ready for the summer and hope these ideas on how to celebrate while social distancing makes you and your family’s summertime an enjoyable one.
