Sand Between Your Toes

Jonathan loves to play outside, which what little boy doesn't like to do that. But there is one thing we don't like about our house and that is the yard is all rocks. Now there are some homes in ABQ that have a little patch of grass or all dirt for their yards, but ours just happens to be all rock. Which for a little boy who loves to go barefoot that can cause some problems. Then the other day Jonathan was digging in the rocks and broke his shovel. Then he built a "sand castle" out of rocks. Jonathan was proud of it, but I think it was more than Jason could handle. He told me Jonathan needed a sandbox. So last week Jason bought a sandbox and 6 bags of sand.

And he loves it.

This is the first thing he did. I would have thought to grab a bucket and shovel and start digging. Not Jonathan. He thinks, Let's stand on the picnic table and jump in the sandbox.

The sandbox looked pretty big until Jonathan sat in it.

He laid in it, tried to bury himself (which was really funny to watch), and buried treasure.

Then finish off the afternoon with a blue ice pop. His favorite!
