Sweet Yet Sour

A few weeks ago I was talking to my dad and I said, “Anna loves to play in the dirt.”  Before I knew it my dad had drawn up plans for a sandbox for Anna that he and Mike could build.  So here we are the proud owners of a new sandbox…

Here’s a “Before” picture of the spot where we put the sandbox:

Here is Mike and my dad working hard on putting the sandbox together:

Once it was finished we put Anna in it – even though it didn’t have sand in it yet she seemed to like it:

Here is a picture of Foster, the dog that I rescued from the street while Mike and dad were working on the sandbox:

Foster brought the dog total to 4 in our house on sandbox day – it was a madhouse!  We found his owner, who lives down the street after about 2 hours…

Here is the first layer of sand we put in and all of the toys that we buried at the bottom for Anna to find when she really starts to dig to China:

Once all the sand was in we plopped the kiddo in with her new sand pails and let the fun begin!

And this is where I put Anna after she had thoroughly covered herself in sand:

She ate most of lunch in the sink, since she seemed happy there – I just kept giving her food while she splashed away…  Good times!
