I’ve been working on creating a sandbox for the boys for the last few weeks. Digging, by hand, an 8′ x 8′ pit, one foot deep.
I worked on it a little bit at a time, a day here, a day there. With helpers, of course. Made a nice big hole in the ground.
Then we built a low wooden frame for it. Corner posts over which we can loop some sort of netting to prevent the cat from getting in.
And THEN!! Finally!! Yesterday, we were ready for sand.
We had a dump truck! In our driveway!
TRUCK!
Spectators watch the dump truck approach the forest.
The dump truck managed to get through our half-acre woods, between garden beds and raspberries, and down the yard to where the hole was ready and waiting.
And then there was 4 cubic yards of sand. Just like that.
The truck hadn’t even turned to leave before there was a boy on top of that mountain of sand.
And many hours worth of fun followed.
