Clouds moved in during the night and we woke up to steady rain. The steady rain soon turned to a steady downpour. We all decided to go out for breakfast (Mom, Eric, Ben, myself and the kids) so we went to Ella's in Woodruff.
The kids were excited watching all the lightening through the big windows and it continued to pour. After we were done we went downtown, there are awnings over most of the store fronts and it was warm enough that it didn't matter if we got rained on a little.
After lunch Ben and I took the kids to Eagle River to check out their children's museum and to meet some friends from Green Bay there. It continued to rain heavily so of course every other tourist family within a 30 mile radius had the same plan. Despite the museum being at capacity (at a few points they had people waiting outside!) the layout of the exhibits made it really tolerable. It didn't seem that chaotic or crowded and the kids were able to get to things and have turns trying everything out. They've done a nice job with their variety of exhibits and using their space wisely. We stayed until closing time.
We had plans for the evening to have the neighbors over for dinner and a game/movie night. It's become kind of a tradition for all the kids - regardless of age - to watch the Backyardigans Super Spy and do all the dances.
The grown ups play card games, word games and act just as silly as the kids.
