10 Outdoor Summer Games for Adults

It’s officially summer, like literally as of yesterday, and like the rest of the winter dwellers, we are ready for some sunshine in our life. Not sure if it is just us, but this winter seems like it stuck around for a bit too long. Now that the weather is finally warm, its time to spend as much of our summer outdoors as we can. Lounging and sipping on cocktails is a great summer pastime, but why not include a little competition into your summer soirees?
