The sandbox project

I asked Dave to build the kids a sandbox. The idea came from "what to do with the dirt spot where the tree fell down" over the winter. 
And build one he did! It required some planning and a few trips to the hardware store to buy lumber...and a week's worth of building time, but he got it done. He created a design himself from some other drawings he found online for a sandbox with benches around all 4 sides with storage under all the benches with lids. The kids thought it was taking f.o.r.e.v.e.r to build it but in reality 7 days was all it took. :)


Thanks daddy for all your work on this!  I still need to get a pic of the finished project with the lids on the benches.

    Kuddos Dave!
    In the old western TV shows, the way the Indians would torture the captured cowboys was to bury them up to their necks, the put honey or something sweet on their heads and then the poor victim would have their head crawling with insects...so when I saw Calvin with only his head sticking out, that was my first thought! But what a smile...bet that felt cool.
