Bring the Party to the Backyard: 3 Summer Must Haves

*** This post is sponsored by Walmart. All opinions are our own.***

One of my most favorite places to be is in our backyard. Give me a bunch of friends and family, country music, and some good burgers on the grill, and I’m a happy woman! Gathering doesn’t have to always be extravagant. Sometimes the most simple of nights become the most treasured.

I find so many of my Summer must-haves at Walmart. The prices are always on point, and I love their rollbacks. Plus, most items ship so quickly. In fact, many of mine come in only 2 days. That’s pretty impressive!
I have 3 Summer items we have in our own backyard which I REALLY love, so I wanted to share them with you too!

1. This Foamie water table
  
  A water table is a rite of passage for most toddler, but this one is extra special. You can add a bit of bubble to the magic!
  
  It has a built in foam maker AND a bubble machine! I mean, what kid doesn’t love foam and bubbles? And mamas, this totally counts a summer bath if soap is involved right? 😉 Just look at this kid washing his hair!
  
  My kids were absolutely enthralled with it and I know it will be a hit for a long time. We may even bring it inside for Winter!
  
  3. This inflatable pool
  As much as I’d love a fancy in ground pool, it’s just not in the card for us! That being said, I found a pool that is deep enough for even mom to lounge in, but not so deep my little one can’t stand up in it!
  
  It’s the perfect size, and super easy to fill/drain.
  
  We also always have these around! They’re a combo between a sponge and a water balloon. When placed in water, they fill and then you can throw them like a water balloon and SPLAT! Instant fun. My kids claim they don’t hurt when throw at each other either. (I’ll just take their word for that!).
  
  My back yard has sure become a luxury resort with these kids and this pool! Good times had by all, and the kids are occupied enough for mom to get a little relaxation in!
  
  3. This rocking camp chair
  Speaking of relaxation, this chair is one my most favorite things. It’s the most comfortable “camp” chair and it ROCKS! I could sit in it for hours!
  
  It’s extremely well made and so sturdy. It’s also very easy to put together without 300 million pieces. Plus it’s more portable than regular patio furniture so I can move it where my kids go. I spend a lot of time in it, watching the kiddos play, drink in hand.
  
  Speaking of drinks, and this is a bit random, but must be told – these are the BEST cups! I use them for all our outdoor picnics and BBQ’s because they’re PLASTIC! I don’t have to worry about kids breaking them, but they still look high end. In fact, I found almost identical ones for 5x the price at a local kitchen store. This is a much more affordable, and functional option!
