How We Pulled Off a Rainy Day Beach Day in Our Apartment (Tips, Playlist, Recipes)

We here at sweetgirlsmirk were supposed to go camping this week. Mother nature had different ideas, and rain and flooding took over Pennsylvania and Delaware.

So what did we do? Brought the beach to the apartment! Yes, if we can do this on a second floor apartment, you can anywhere.

Gear:
~Kiddie pool
~Sand
~Buckets
~Party lights
~Sparklers
~Crabs
~Snow crab legs
~Beach fries
~Chili dogs
~Shrimp
~Fruit cocktail pudding
~Any tropical decor on hand
~Outdoor games (we had washers)
~Daiquiris in fun glasses
~Beach playlist on spotify
~A huge sense of humor

We had such a fun time that a nap had to be included!

The playlist set the tone from the start. You can subscribe here on spotify!

Start off with a cocktail hour on the beach, or just relax in the sand and water.

Grill some dogs, set the table and dig in!

Fruit cocktail pudding recipe: a large can of fruit cocktail and two boxes of prepared instant vanilla pudding. Fold together, chill two hours, enjoy!

Whether or not there's a break in the rain, get in a round of games to work off the food. It's okay if you get wet, you're already in your bathing suit!

After dark, enjoy your party lights and nightswim.

Relax after your day at the beach!

We had a blast, but what would you add to your beach day? Share here!
