Fresh Water... and improvised toys.

So I went out to check on the boys this morning and I found their water bucket (The yellow one in the picture above) about half way down the upper part of the pasture.   Someone must have knocked it over and then decided to have a kickball game with it.

Also, one of their sweet feed buckets was destroyed too. 

They want to play with things that aren't their toys and totally ignore their toys.   

We read online that some folks buy cheap hula hoops and their donks will play with them all day long.  Ours?  They have not even touched the Dollar General hoops once since we put them out in the pasture for them.

As for the weed cloth that we put down under the mulch for Raychel's wedding back in November?  Every bit of it pulled up and used as 'tug of war' ropes.

I'm going to try to find a piece of thick cotton rope (you know the kind you used to have to climb up in gym class) for them to play tug of war with.   Will they use it?   Probably not, but it will at least make me feel better knowing I gave them something as a toy.

Anybody got any ideas for toys to try for them?  They will be happy to ignore them too, I'm sure.
