Our {Fake} Campout

Fall weather means it's time to spend as much of your life outside as you can! But being the technology junkies we are it means, moving things you love like Alabama football games and The Wizard of Oz outside with you.

Enter homemade drive in movie theater.


 

Here's how we did it, not rocket science. And it cost $0, because everything we needed we found around the house.

1 piece of plywood, laying in the attic. 1 white bed sheet, stuffed in a box in the attic. And a staple gun. That was our "screen"

Then I found hooks and metal rings in the basement that attached to the porch decking to hang the screen up.

Then we hooked up our projector to our laptop and voila!




And now that we have the set up, we are looking for every opportunity to get outside in nature and watch TV.

Like a kid's first "Wizard of Oz" experience!

 But this time I ramped up the outdoorsy experience. I added a fire pit, hotdogs on a stick and marshmallows for roasting! That's downright camping y'all. I mean, as long as you define camping as having a bed, blankets, access to a fridge, bathroom and wireless internet, right?










I think I earned a merit badge on this one, for reals.

It's Fall Y'all

It is finally October again. I love Fall, along with everyone else on the internet. The heat finally breaks, everyone gets outside, and you get to eat and drink every thing in pumpkin flavor.

But before we start instagramming our pumpkin beers and pumpkin lattes check out what the Kid President is trying to do this October...or should I say "Socktober!"



I know I know, get over Kid president already...but I dare you to watch this and not feel inspired and not have a grin on your face when the 4 minutes are up.

If you can watch this and you are annoyed when it is over, we can't be friends. I said it.

Happy Fall Y'all!
