Back Yard Summer Fun In Washington
Growing up in Naches and living my 20s+ in Yakima, I’ve had many summers filled with the sun in the sky and the grass under my feet. Having my older brother and all of my cousins and friends close by always helped the summers fly by, as long as there was fun to be had.

There were two major things we played with outside. The first was a Frisbee. They were cheap, and for the most part, they didn’t require much skill to start, and the learning curve wasn’t that bad (plus your dog was a great partner).

The second one was Lawn Darts! We had the ones that are illegal today. The ones with metal tips that, if you weren’t paying attention, could really hurt someone (that’s how we learned).
If you’ve never played Lawn Darts, there’s a saying that describes it pretty well: the game of horseshoes is Lawn Darts… for wussies. And if you’ve never played horseshoes, well, the game of Corn Hole is horseshoes… for wussies.
