Sand & Water

No, no beach visit. A sand box & pool were both set up in the backyard this week. Abie and Benjamin both had fun with the sand box before there was any sand. Jacqie was even tempted to put off buying sand to avoid the mess. But sand was on sale and grandma insisted.
So far Abie still hasn't learned how to keep the sand in the box. She's been caught several times throwing a shovel full at Benjamin. Benjamin on the other hand loves to eat it. ? It can't taste that good?
Either way it's a perfect fit for both of them, thank you grandma!

The lawn had to be mowed before the pool could be set up. After only a few minutes of hearing the lawn mower going, Taylor popped his head in asking for the pool to start being filled. He'd started mowing the lawn where the pool could go first. So while he continued mowing Abie helped fill the pool.
Both Benjamin and Abie loved playing in the water, but the cool breeze made it a bit chilly to stay too long. Just as well, the evening was fast approaching! But before calling it good, the most recent yard sale bonus was added, a slide. Abie loved it!
