building a new sand box

One of our spring projects in our new house was to build a sandbox in the backyard for the kids to play in.
First you dig out the hole

Then you dig the holes for the posts, Katy and Abby got in to show how deep they are.


Then Collin builds the sides


The big truck came and dumped 6 tons of sand on our driveway



One wheel-barrel at a time we hauled the sand to the back yard and poured it in.

One finished sandbox ready to play in.

Now I need to go and take some Advil and collapse on my bed.

Good luck with the sandbox. It will provide hours of fun for the kids, then you get to have hours of fun washing it out of their clothes, out of the tub, and picking it out of their bellybuttons. We still love ours, well, if we could get to it.
