Sandbox Fun in the Sun

I usually try to send the boys out in the afternoon while I’m making dinner. It’s been 100 or close to it every day for the past month or so here in Texas, so we have to make sure our fair skinned boys are in the shade and keeping cool.

A couple of weeks ago we (meaning Greg) had to move the sand box one load of sand at a time from the sunniest part of the yard to a spot that is more shaded, especially in the afternoon and evening. We (really, it was me this time) put the umbrella in the center of the sandbox for some more shade. And today I put the hose on the “mist” function and set it up inside the umbrella while the boys played. Yes, it created wet and dirty sand, which created wet and dirty boys, especially the Eric boy.

He’s very into his sand box playing!
