- Backyard Carnival
No need to seek out the best fairs and events in the area this holiday when you can create your own right in the backyard.
Set up an adult and children’s slip and slide, kiddie pools, hula hoops, and outdoor games. You can have corn hole tournaments, and a water balloon fight to get the whole party involved.
Don’t forget your decorations. Put up red, white and blue streamers, have fun cups and plates, and don’t forget the specialty drinks.
Reader’s digest highlighted two fun drinks to try this holiday that are sure to be a hit.
Put frozen watermelon, strawberries, apples, and blueberries in cold tonic water. This adds color and flavor to the normal drinks while adding a fun way to keep the water cool.
For another unique display, fill a glass one-third of the way full with red cranberry juice, then add ice. Pour one cup of pina colada mix in, and then top off with a blue sports drink.
The different densities ensure the colors stay put; making a red, white, and blue drink the kids won’t be able to get enough of.
