Today, we went with some friends to the Bartlett Aquatic Center. Not only did they have a really nice, kid-friendly pool, but they also had a great sand/water area! I felt like we were at the beach!
I realized that this was the first time that Caleb has actually played in the sand, so of course, I just had to snap some pictures.
Caleb had fun making "castles"...well, smashing the ones I made. And the boy just loves buckets and shovels, so being in a place where buckets and shovels abounded was just fantastic! After tiring from the castle-making (smashing!), he set to work digging up sand, and transferring it from the bucket, to the water, and back....in wonderful "Caleb-style".....focused and determined.
Eventually, he discovered the "park", which was a big-pirate-ship-looking-thing with a slide...he loves to "drive", so the steering wheel in the play area was perfect for him!
