Sand Pit

The kids and I took a walk down to our mailbox last week. Silas drove his tractor while I pushed Brooke in the stroller. There is a big sand pit behind our mailbox, Si just couldn't resist. We decided to hang out there for awhile and play in the sand. It is not quite like the beach, but hey we were outside- that was all that mattered. There is a big hill that Si kept running up and down, until he had a wipe out and decided that was enough. Brooke didn't quite know what to think of the sand on her bare feet at first. Once she figured it was okay, she had a lot of fun. We walked over to a nearby pond to let the dog have a quick swim. Si thought he wanted to wade in the water until he felt how cold it was. They really had fun exploring somewhere other than our yard. Hopefully the weather decides to stop teasing us and warm up so we can have more days like these.
