Was planning to take the kids to the park, maybe hit up that new mini golf place. Checked the weather and it's supposed to pour all day Saturday and Sunday. Back to board games and screen time I guess. What do you guys do when the weather ruins your plans? Need some ideas before I go crazy in the house.
Rain check on the park but mini golf indoors exists in a lot of places now. Or check if there's an arcade nearby. Not the same but the kids still get the outing and you all stay dry.
Days like this are when I break out the craft supplies and let them go wild. Yeah it's messier but they're having fun and honestly I'd rather wreck the house on a rainy Saturday than fight the weather.
Rain days hit different as a dad. Whole day of plans down the drain and now you gotta figure out indoor activities. We usually end up at the bounce place and it costs way more than mini golf would have.
This is when you get creative though. Build a blanket fort, do a movie marathon with popcorn, actually engage with them instead of the park doing the work for you. Sometimes the best days are the rained out ones.
All day rain days are rough when you had plans. But honestly this is when we pivot to board games, build a fort in the living room, or just let them watch a movie guilt-free. Indoor plans can slap too.

Ugh I hate this. Had the same thing happen last weekend. We ended up doing an indoor scavenger hunt and honestly the kids had a blast but man I was ready to get them outside.
