Who knew a sandbox could have so many uses and be so much fun?!
We were in need of more outdoor entertainment around the house for the summer......Derrick and I thought, "we can't go wrong with a sandbox!" So far we are right! We can put plastic toys in it and sit to play, transform it to a pool, climb on top of the turtle's shell, dig in the sand with our shovel and rake, and who knows what else.
This particular day was about 55 or 60 degrees outside and cloudy. Kai just couldn't wait to try the turtle out! We filled the turtle with hose water and sand toys earlier in the day and Kai played in the early evening in his swim trunks for almost an hour before starting to turn purple! He scooped and poured and scooped and poured until half the water was making great mud all around the edges of the turtle. He even poured full buckets down the front of his chest....which was very brave considering the numbing feel of the water on my ankles alone! He loved every second of it and did NOT want to get out....although the warm towel was enticing!
We are so blessed to have such an outdoor paradise for the kids to play here at camp. Kai is our little outdoorsmen and is constantly asking to go play outside (day and night). There's nothing he won't touch, dig, or taste around the house! It will be a busy summer!
