Well it is raining. Imagine that. It has rained every trip this year. This trip we forgot the movies. The only one we have is the Power Rangers the movie. This is slow torture

Sleep is the #1 choice; usually everyone is tired from taking advantage of whatever the CG has to offer.  If it's rained all day and nobody has gone out at all, this still seems to happen after a large meal.

Other than that, following events on smartphones (news, sports) and having lively discussions regarding same is quite rewarding, as well as games such as Texas-hold-em, and backgammon.  When the boys were younger, reading out loud, checkers, and go-fish were popular. 

That said, we have 2 teenagers (16 and 18); the dynamic now is quite different from when we shared a tent with them 10+ years ago, but in our PUP, a nap still seems to be the #1 choice for both children and adults.

We usually play regular cards and have several card games, a few games are in the bin and we drag them out to play depending on how hard/long the rain looks like it will last ( :D), watch TV if the Air TV is working, read our Nooks, or just plain have a conversation or three. ;D  Believe me, we have rain just about 80% of our camping trips and come prepared.

Well we take DirecTv with us, so if it rains we watch TV. If it is storming with no TV signal, then its either movie time (something on the DVR). Or "IF" we can find a covered area to sit outside, it is nice to watch it storm/rain.
Sometimes a nap--sometimes a trip in to the nearest town. I mean there are several things to do.

Put a raincoat on and go outside.  My wife thinks I am crazy with my full rain suit but I stay dry.

Get wet.

We have movies in and games to keep al of us occupied in the camper for a while.
If it is a storm that will be a while and we don't wan to stay in the camper, we will head into town or just go for a drive.

Elmira: Wish I had known that. We had Despicable Me, G Force and Alvin and the Chipmunks The Squeak-el.

I agree with the nap. Play cards, watch movies.

We read, or I read and she knits. Or we play Scrabble or Cribbage. And we talk.

With our little girls, we're usually equipped with games, coloring books, blank paper for "projects", lots of crayons and pencils, Leapsters...

Even with it all, it still seems like getting wet is the favorite.  🙂

We just let the girls play in the rain. It's all part of the camping experience. This is from a couple years ago.

That is usually when we get "connected."  We check email, upload pictures, etc.  As soon as the sun comes back out, away go the gadgets and back out we go!

Uhhhh. We are a married couple. Do you really have to know?
If you do, the answer is cards.  😀
Happy Camping all.
