Rainy days are sometimes a welcomed relief from the heat, or even snow. They are a perfect excuse to get comfortable, stay in bed and enjoy a good book or a movie. On the other hand, being stuck inside all day, especially with younger children, can be a quick recipe for boredom. Whether you want to brave the weather and head outside or stay at home, there are a number of great indoor alternatives to a less than ideal forecast.
