The Joys of Summer

Alternate post title:  The joys of not being the one who does the laundry.

It was the second to last day of school and beautiful weather so we went to the park.  All three made a bee line for the sandbox and we ended up spending over 2 hours in that one spot.  Benjamin was on a mission to bury himself alive.  The result:

Even this covered, he wanted to go further.  "I want you to completely bury me!"  All my attempts to help him understand that being buried in sand isn't like in the winter when we buried him in snow and that he wouldn't be able to breathe were ignored until the sand was on his face.  Then he panicked, screamed, and decided covering his head was far enough.  My favorite part, though, was when three ladies walking by, thinking that there were just two little kids playing in the sandbox, jumped with shock as Benjamin emerged from the sand like the Loch Ness Monster.

Then Christian wanted in on the action too.

It was a wonderful day at the park. So happy Summer is here!
