We live in Seattle, with kids (one of whom is particularly rambunctious) and a dog, so getting outside in the rain is necessary for us. Spending time outdoors brings us pleasure, and keeps us from growing too stir crazy. We rely on our walks and hikes for exercise, stress relief, and plain enjoyment as a family.
When it rains, we try not to let it hold us back, so I took some time to reflect on what helps us through the less than ideal conditions.
