Backyard Fun

Last week Jake and I went to Potterybarn to finally spend our gift cards from the wedding. We ended up getting these totally fun colorful hanging lanterns that you put candles in, and bonus they were on sale (they can also be table decor). We bought hooks and candles the next day so we could enjoy them in our backyard as soon as possible, put them up and tried them out. They were so fun but dissapointingly they did not light up the patio like we thought they would. So Friday I went and bought two more with remaining gift card money and went to Target and bought two strings of frosted bulb lights. This is the end result...
We have tons of light now and it is like our own Tea Cup ride in our backyard. Jake even rigged up a light switch back there so we don't have to plug and unplug every night. Now all we need is patio furniture and we can start having some backyard fun.
