Earlier this summer we were tent camping during the dying out of Hurricane Arthur along the LI shore. Lots of wind and rain. I mean a lot. We'd reserved for almost 3 weeks and it rained for almost half of that time.
Yeah sure it changed our plans around but basically it was for the better. Kids got so used to the rain and lack of outdoor movies(a weekly feature of this SP) that they started a evening game of "Tag in the Rain" that lasted almost 3 nights. One of the nice parts of the tag game is all the children regardless of age played and were welcome.
Out loud book reading/storytelling was at an all time high during this trip. Moved the furniture to the perimeter of the screen room and turned it into an indoor playroom. We swam in the mornings since it rarely rained in that time frame and then traveled further in the drier northern counties of the state to visit museums, forests and state parks; picked blueberries and merely explore. Good times were had by all despite our original expectations.
