Title: "Wet play time"
Post by: NormandyMary on July 18, 2011, 10:42:43 am

With all this rain, my boys are being confined to barracks for what I call "Wet play time" (Remembering school days!) They do come out in between showers but the weather has been so dire here the last few days, their play has been seriously curtailed.
Is there anything I can do to their house to keep them amused. They have things to jump on and off, but I worry that they are going to get bored and frustrated. Also with all this horrible rain, we cant spend as much time with them as we'd like so anything I can do to amuse them would ease my conscience.

I think mine are pretty bored too  :P Branches to chew always seem to go down well here (as well as chasing the chooks who are also sheltering from the rain  :D)

I could always get my exercise bike out of the barn, though personally, I think they'd prefer the Wii!!
