[quote=Anonymous]I remember making costumes that were a size larger so that they would fit over the winter coat and long underwear. Cold weather was not going to stop us from getting lots of sugar damn it. And then there was arguing over wearing the poncho over the costume or under the costume when it was raining. But off we went. I suspect that we went without parents far earlier the kids in warmer climates did because our parents wanted nothing to do with the rain or the cold or the cold rain. I grew up in Massachusetts.

I am planning for the rain coat under the costume and his winter boots. One of us will carry an umbrella. We will still go out and have a grand old time.

As for camping when it rains, I am trying to remember the last time that I went camping and it didn't rain. Normally it is raining at night when we would already be in the tent but we bring games and things to do in case of the rain. We have a canopy to put over the picnic table so we can hang out over there and a tarp to guy out over the hammock. If it is going to be be continual rain we will pack up and leave early but normally it is for a short period of time and done.

Proper gear and preparation means the rain doesn't normally stop us. Then again, we did look for a rain free weekend for our backpacking trip because we didn't want the 7 year old trekking through the rain on his first backpacking trip. (shrugs)[/quote]
