Here's what our
big pile of sand has turned into. We're calling it Harvest Beach. If an ocean would just move in next door, we'd be all set to start charging admission and become a hot spot on the New England summer tour.
Here's how our pile of sand turned into a beach: A whole lot of hard work and sweat from The Map Man. And me. But mostly The Map Man. Lots of work with a trusty shovel and a sturdy rake spread out our sand and leveled our crooked lot into something appropriate to build a playscape on. Now we just need to build that playscape! (Stay tuned!)
J did his best to lend a hand in the shoveling department, too. And honestly, over the past two weeks, the kids really have done their share of moving sand down the mountain, mostly propelled by their bums as they slid down the side of the pile, or by their feet as they climbed back up to slide again.
But now that our pile has turned into Harvest Beach, neither of them see much point in doing anything but play in it. Great for making sand castles!
And great for pretend play, too. Here Zoo Boy drives a "boat", taking his "passenger" J for a ride. Hosing them down when they're done playing is becoming a daily ritual.
