Need advice with these chairs!

I went for a walk last night while my husband took the dogs on a golf cart ride. They love their golf cart rides. 

When I came back, in the golf cart was a wooden chair. I looked at my husband and said, "were you junking?" 

Of course he said no, but there were these chairs down the street and he wondered if I wanted them. There were more of them so off we went. 

It turned out that we picked up a total of 12 chairs. They were all sturdy and in good shape except for the fact that they had been out in the weather. 

One chair was painted grey, but the rest were in their natural wood. 

I have seen old wooden chairs on Pinterest. Some are painted, some decorated, some updated with stain. 

I originally thought I would paint them, but not sure what to do. We have lots of parties on our deck and could use them. 

Here is where I need help.
What do you think I should do with them: sand and stain; paint, what? Open to suggestions. I don't think I want to strip the grey one.
