{ enjoying the great outdoors }


I think the phrase the great outdoors must have started in the West, where outdoor living is such an integral part of our lifestyle. The last 6 dinners/birthday parties/events we have gone to or hosted have all been outside. We also eat outside on the deck almost every night.  We designed our living spaces so that there was little boundary between the inside & outside (large sliding doors; lots of windows; several decks and lots of outdoor play areas).  Whether its a deck, patio, porch or grassy common area, outdoor spaces I think its really important for families to have an extension of their home that lets them get out in in the fresh air to play, relax or simply have dinner under the open sky. Where do all of you eat, play, relax outdoors during the summer?
