Patch Guide to Rainy Day Boredom in Baltimore County

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD--If April showers bring May flowers, Maryland will be in full bloom next month.

The National Weather Service is predicting a chance of rain continuously through Saturday night and 30-degree temperature swings throughout the weekend.

But gloomy skies don’t have to mean a gloomy weekend!

Some people will take this opportunity to hunker down with a warm blanket and a good book, or maybe even catch up on Eaglet Mania with the #dceaglecam, while others will need an outlet for their cooped up kids.

We asked Patch Readers in Baltimore County how they’ll stay busy, and keep their kids content, during an overcast afternoon. Here’s a list of suggestions for the cozy reader and the restless parent this weekend:

• "Books! Family games, movies, lego dimensions."
• "Build blanket forts and defend it against their mother who is trying of all things to clean it up... down with the queen."
• "Bowling,exercise, fitness,movies,shopping,library,and more , Keeping me occupied"
• "Get my Girl in coat and boots and let her play in the rain Or if too bad of weather we just stay in"
• "Little Abners"
• "Spring cleaning weekend. Yayyyyy!"

• "Monster Mini Golf, Movies, Rock'n Jump, Sky Zone, Kiddie Crusoe. I'm sure there are others I've forgot. There is always plenty of good indoor fun."
• "I like to check out what activities Tickled Pink & Posh Party Boutique is having for my girls"
