Sandbox

After much planning and preparation, we have a new feature in our backyard: a SANDBOX! A big thanks to Travis for the mini loader and to James for helping Justin spread the sand. It is such a big hit, Trey has been loving it!

First came the boards for the boundary.


Second, came killing off our grass and laying down the weedblocker!


Third came the dump truck with the sand. The sand company was called Busy Bees, and I have seen their trucks around town. Usually they have a Bee picture on the side of their trucks, and when I told Trey a "Bee Truck" was coming to our house, he FREAKED. He also wanted to know what the man's name was who would be driving the truck. Well, when the truck arrived at our home and didn't have a BEE on it, I thought Trey might notice: He didn't. We also found out the drivers name was "Roy!"










Who needs a sandbox when you have a beach right in your driveway. The 3 neighbor boys from across the street who was sharing half of the sand with us came over and the boys had a heck of a time playing, jumping and rolling through the sand. I joked with a neighbor Jessica, "Bring your girls over to the beach!" I think her daughter Morgan got a little excited at the thought!

Next, you borrow the coolest loader from a good friend he help you move 10+ yards of sand into your backyard. Trey thought the machine was "amazing," although he didn't like the noise it made. "Too loud!"




After many hours of waiting patiently...







You dive in and enjoy yourself!


Thank you again for all who helped and made the Bledsoe Sand Box possible!

That's awesome. We totally want a sandbox and playset. It's so expensive though. The front loader looks like alot of fun.

I am glad it turned out so well! When we did it for our sandbox and garden boxes, the driveway sand was also a hit with the whole street....funny what keeps kids entertained. ;)
