Our weather fluctuates a lot at this time of year. One day it can be glorious and hot, and the next dull and pouring with rain all day long. Here's some ideas to keep the kids amused on the latter.

Sounds great to me! It's supposed to rain all weekend and off and on all week. Yuck! It is keeping my allergies at bay though.

Every cloud has a silver lining. :) We had a severe thunderstorm and tornadoes that passed us by thankfully and that's dampened everything down for a while, thank goodness. My allergies are better too because there's no flying pollen right now.

I went to the beach this past weekend and although it was 40 degrees with 50 mph winds, there was zero pollen! lol It could snow at the beach and I would still love it! My room was right across from the ocean, ahhhhhh, super r & r time!

Lucky you! Is John going with you or do you get to escape on your own? If so, do you do it under cover of darkness with camouflage paint on your face? LOL Must be hard to stash the surfboard in your pocket....

Oh man, now I'm really jealous!! Promise me you'll take pics. I would love to do that and can live my life vicariously through yours if you do. Thank you, thank you very much. That's great, hope you guys have a good time!

No wait, promise me you'll let John take the pics. I just remembered you're as rubbish with a camera as I am.

As for me, when the weather is not good for any activities, I just sing Bruno Mar's Lazy song. :)

Excellent, I'll look forward to seeing them. I bet AJ was thrilled to bits!

He was! He doesn't have a huge sense of adavnture so I was glad and proud at how he did on the boat! Going to be very hard to top this trip though!

Cool! Are you driving? I think you won the lottery and aren't telling me with all these fancy outings.

Lol, oh boy FAR from the lottery that's for sure! We didn't go because of the Hurricane. John has been great at finding super low cost trips lately. Even the whale watch wasn't that bad...just takes some looking.

Aww shame you missed it. I gather you all came through the hurricane safe and well and with power since you made it online. :) I didn't realize that it would be coming close to you guys.
