Ball games

The blue baseball bat may be hidden away in the utility closet until spring, but that is not preventing Gus from playing ball.

Wrench ball. You need a wrench, a ball popper ball and a duck.


Rules. Throw the ball up. If you swing and miss the ball it is "try again." If you swing and hit the ball it is also "try again." If you fall it is "Fumble!" Really loud.

"Try again."

"Nice job, Duck."

Croquet. You need a bolt and Theo's magic ball.


Rules. Put the ball on the floor. Hit the ball with the "mallet" and yell, "Croquet!" and "Nice job!"

It is a very serious game.

No smiling allowed.
