Wayfair.com recently asked me to take part in their Summer Memories Challenge. So, in exchange for a couple of Wayfair.com products (this and this) I recreated a favorite childhood past-time of mine: the backyard picnic.
I used to throw backyard tea party/picnics with my friends when I was younger. I’d invite all of the kids from around the neighborhood and we’d lay a blanket down and bust out our fancy teapots and china. And let’s not forget our dolls 😉
I thought it would be fun to have another backyard picnic now that the weather has been so fabulous. I wanted to have picnic that would be great for adults as well as children, so we decided to make it a little more fancy 😉
Arden’s new sandbox from Wayfair, served some the double duty, acting as our picnic table 🙂 I liked the idea of having more of a “table” to eat our food at instead of just on the ground. The canopy was a great incentive too 😉 It’s always nice to have a little bit of a break from the sun while you’re eating.
We decided to cook the complete dinner outside over the firepit to make it even more of adventure. Here’s our cooking station all set up!
We kept the menu simple and served hot dogs and vegan frankfurters cooked on skewers.
We also grilled corn over the fire.
And of course it wouldn’t have been complete with s’mores for dessert right?
We used these awesome skewers for everything and it worked out perfectly.
