One very cool sandbox!

Dane LOVES to dig (duh, he's 2), but the only place we had for him to dig was underneath our rhodendrum in the front yard. It's a wee bit tight to be digging in that space, so Daddy decided to build him a sandbox.

After about a week & a half, a dozen or so trips to Home Deep, several coats of varnish, and meticulous planning, we have an awesome sandbox for Dane and his friends. The best part is that most of the sandbox is made from recycled wood from our deck railing we took down last summer! Here are a few photos of the process.

This is probably my new favorite photo of Dane & Daddy. So cute! I love how engrossed Dane looks.

Here's my measly contribution!

Leveling!

15 bags of sand + 3 bags of gravel = HOURS of entertainment
(or so we hope!)

The backhoe in action!
