As soon as the hint of warm weather arrives, I find myself basically living outdoors and forcing everyone I love to join me. I do my best to lure them outside with promises of beer, barbecue, and s'mores, but by June those things no longer hold a large appeal to people. I need other ways to persuade people to get outside and enjoy the glorious summer heat.
And thanks to Wayfair's insane Memorial Day Sale, I'm that much closer to making my backyard a fun oasis. And whether you love to be outside or want to keep the kids "I'm bored" free this summer, you might wanna' check out these fun options too.

Classic Giant Board Game
Imagine having a giant Connect Four in the backyard that can either entertain the kids or serve as a fun drinking game for the adults. Standing at 31 inches tall, these games can also make for an interesting tailgate game, too.
