Summer is officially here, the kids are out of school, they’re bored, and your vacation plans are still weeks away. Sounds like it’s time to stir things up and host an impromptu canal-side party.
Invite the neighbors, and friends with kids.
Fire up the grill and serve something simple: Brats with plenty of easy store-bought sides like potato and macaroni salad.
Entertain the kids by setting up an outdoor movie screen on the deck or dock. Place some underwater lights in the water, to attract sea-life that your guests can view.
Prepare a separate adults-only area, within ear and eye shot of the kids. Download a playlist of great music and provide guests with Dominoes. Ask guests to bring a roll of quarters for betting.
Buy a bucket of bait shrimp, and allow guests to fish off the dock.
Finally, provide guests with a bucket of styro-foam noodles and rafts – if they are inclined to jump into the canal.
