A camping trip is not ruined by rain

You spend time picking a good day for you to go camping. You spend time gathering the supplies that you will need for your camping trip. You excitedly wait for the day to come so you can go on your camping trip. Then the morning finally comes. But before you can even start to pack the car, it starts raining. Now you have to wait for the rain to stop to pack your car. You are hoping that it isn't raining at the campground. As you are waiting, you check the weather forecast for that area. Unfortunately there is a widespread area of rain there too that is expected to be around the whole weekend. There wasn't even a chance of rain predicted but it is going to be a rainy weekend. Before you get angry be thankful you didn't get all the way there and get your tent set up, then the rain started. Now that would be agrivating. Could you imagine not only was it raining but you also had to pack everything up in the rain and bring home the wet stuff. Now that would have been horrible. Be thankful that not only did the rain start before you left but it started before you packed the car, so nothing got wet. Your family may be disappointed but you have to be thankful you and your belongings are dry. Now you can still go camping as a family, you just have to camp out in your house. You can create memories of building a tent together indoors. Obviously not what you had planned or that you had ever thought of doing. But a once in a lifetime adventure of camping that none of you will forget. Instead of letting it anger you and ruin your weekend, let it inspire you to get creative. You probably will go on many camping trips throughout your lifetime but this may be the only time you will get to do it indoors. It might not have been the plan but you can make a plan to enjoy your time together. The weather is always unpredictable despite how well you had planned it.
