Date Night Ideas

So during this past summer, my wife was watching out the window as a strong wind storm rushed in. She was watching the wavy grass and all of a sudden slowly the large tree in our front yard fell over!  Neighbors soon gathered around and offered help. Cleaning up a large tree isn’t easy. One of our neighbors brought over a chainsaw and chopped it in to pieces. We stored all the wood in the backyard. That huge pile of wood came in handy throughout the whole summer. Later in the summer we made an awesome investment and put all that wood to good use. We bought a fire pit similar to this:

So after that, I was loaded with date night ideas. My wife grew up camping and absolutely loves the outdoors. Since we have young kids, it’s not easy going out on a camping trip, so the next best thing is to have a campfire in the backyard! We brought a table outside with our folding chairs one night, made smores, had treats, and talked and talked late into the night. She told me that this was her favorite date night yet since it brought so many good memories.

The thing I love about these kinds of date night ideas is that they are inexpensive, you can do them at home, they build your relationship, and they create wonderful memories.
