We actually had a "rainy day picnic" today – hot chocolate and muffins, on a plastic tablecloth on the kitchen floor. I have to admit, living in the Pacific NW…we get more rainy days than sunny ones, this time of year…so we're more likely to have a "sun break kit"! A warm coat, hat, gloves, snacks…all next to the stroller, ready to hit the road the SECOND the sun peeks out!

Great tips! Living in the Pacific Northwest, where rain is the norm 7-9 months out of the year, we would use the "rainy day kit" all the time! We get used to being out in the rain, and have developed lots of outside things to do also — puddle stomping, hunting for worms, looking for rainbows (if the sun is out at the same time), even taking walks and going to the park. Boots and rain coats are favorite clothes of my children, and hot chocolate and cinnamon toast warms everyone up when it's time to come inside.
