Boredom Busters

I just checked the forecast and it looks like we’re getting a lot of rain this weekend. What a bummer. We usually spend quite a bit of time at the pool on the weekends. The kids love it and it’s a way to beat the heat while still spending time outside.

However, it’s always a good idea to have a back up plan and some fun activities up your sleeve on days you can’t make it outdoors. Here are a few boredom busters we might be trying this weekend.

Though we can’t make it to the pool, we can still use that pool noodle…for a marble race.
