The new sandbox

We wanted to get the boys a little something special for the backyard.

Summer is almost here. Isabella will soon be arriving. And the play set with a swing and slide that we had, broke in our last move.  

So, it worked out perfect when we found this sandbox with a sunshade at Costco!

We let Ben pick the placement of where the sandbox would go. He had a great idea with putting it by our garage wall that has extra shade.

 

This sandbox has a UV protected shade, side plastic bins, side compartments to hold toys with covers, and also a netted cover to keep away neighborhood kitty's!

                                      
Boys and sand equals hours of playtime. They soon discovered that their monster trucks and super hero toys were perfect for the sandbox.                                  
                                       

We also love sidewalk chalk!

Zachary's favorite bike helmet/hat is Ben's baseball helmet. He would wear this everywhere if we let him.

That's not dirt you see, it's chocolate pudding all over his face.

The great thing about the sandbox is this.......I can set up a camping chair in the shade, rest the belly, and watch the boys.
