Today it is a rainy mess in Ottawa. Spring has decided to throw a few more flurries our way. The rain is cold. It’s dark and after a weekend spent outside in the nice weather, it’s pretty blah.
I am thinking of taking the kids to an indoor gymnasisum for a drop in time they have. Rainy days are great for museums or gyms to run all of their energy out. The Aviation Museum is one of my go-to spots on a rainy day.
Some rainy days we play too many video games and watch lots of movies. But those couch snuggles warm me up from the cold, damp day and taking that time to relax is important.
I’ve written about other rainy day activities here. Obstacle courses, board games. There are lots of options.
Hopefully the weather will improve for tomorrow. But in the meantime, I just have to decide how to spend the afternoon.
What do you do on rainy days?
It rained in Perth yesterday (4th) and today it feels like the first day of winter all over again, no snow…just windy and cold. Spring weather is coming I know but it’s getting harder and harder to be patient for it.
Hope you and the kids enjoyed a good day.
I kind of like a rain day. Gives me an excuse to not pack up three kids and take that whole thing on. We hang here. Dance parties. Someone takes a long bath. Maybe make a smoothie. Quiet times in their rooms, maybe. It’s like a free day, where we can laze around the house! (I completely retract this whole comment if there are too many rain days in a row! Then the novelty wears off!)
