Patch Guide to Rainy Day Boredom in Prince George's County

PRINCE GEORGE'S 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 Prince George's 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:

• "I check out Bowie Macaroni Kid for their event calendar!"
• "Movies. Coloring. Puzzles. Bounce house."
• "Put the cell phones and tablets away and schedule some family board game time. Take advantage of conversation and laughter again."
