🌳🍽️ EVERY DAY IS A HOLIDAY! 🍽️🌳
Monday, August 31 is Eat Outside Day!

Monday dinner plans?

Take it outside. 😎

Today is Eat Outside Day, and this may be one of the easiest holidays we’ve celebrated yet.

No special recipe required.
No decorations needed.
And absolutely NO requirement that you own a fancy picnic basket. 😂

🥪 Pack sandwiches and head to a park.
🍕 Grab takeout and find a picnic table.
🌭 Fire up the grill.
🥡 Pick up dinner from a local restaurant.
🏡 Or just carry your regular Monday-night dinner into the backyard.

It counts!

🍉 OR… visit a local Farmers Market or Farm Stand and find the messiest thing you can eat outside!

A giant slice of juicy watermelon?
Fresh sweet corn dripping with butter?
A peach so ripe you need to eat it over the grass?
Fresh berries the kids swear they’re going to share?

You know the foods. The ones where Mom takes one look and says:

“You’re eating THAT outside.” 😂

Those are PERFECT for Eat Outside Day!

And here’s your reminder that kids don’t necessarily need an elaborate adventure to make a memory.

Sometimes eating the SAME sandwich they would have eaten at the kitchen table becomes approximately 47 times more exciting when you put it on a blanket outside. 😂

🌳 MAKE IT A MINI MONDAY ADVENTURE!

Let the kids choose the location.

Backyard?
Front porch?
Local park?
Playground?
Picnic table?
A stop somewhere along tonight’s adventure?

Then add one rule:

📵 Put the phones away for 20 minutes.

Look for something you’ve never noticed before. Listen for the birds. Watch the clouds. Talk about the best part of everyone’s day.

And, because we’re in Wisconsin…

🦟 Mosquito spray may be considered a dinner utensil.

😂

👇 YOUR TURN!

What’s YOUR favorite “you are absolutely eating that outside” food?

🍉 Watermelon?
🌽 Sweet corn?
🍑 A super-juicy peach?
🍦 Melting ice cream or popsicles?

And if you picked it up from a local Farmers Market or Farm Stand, give them a shout-out in the comments so another family can find them too! ❤️

🌳🍽️ Happy Eat Outside Day!

Good food + fresh air + your favorite people = a pretty great way to end a Monday.
