5 Things to Do Because It Won't Stop Raining in Northern Colorado

'It's raining, it's pouring' has become our mantra in 2015. We can handle the 100 degree days and brave the blizzards because we are rough and tough Coloradans. But that wet stuff falling from the sky, what is that? Oh, that's another story.

We're definitely not used to this weather in Colorado, especially not in the middle of July. I wore mittens on my way to work this morning. MITTENS. (No complaints though, this surely is better than that summer when everything was on fire.) Instead of moping over the lack of sunny days spent on the beach at Horsetooth Reservoir, here are some things to keep you occupied.

You know those are always better when it's raining. Curl up on the couch and hope that your house isn't above a burial ground.
