We have two sandboxes at our backyard. The turtle (green) one was given by my SIL and the boat (blue/gray) was given by our neighbor. We have to buy another bag of sand to put on the other one so they can use it.
Sand boxes are fancy but nothing can beat the joy I had when I was a kid where sand in the beach is endless. I grew up in a coastal area in the Philippines so I had lots of fun playing in the sand during my childhood. That's what my kids remembered and missing of our place, the fun time they had when we first brought them there.
Speaking about my place, I talked to my mother last week when she picked up the money I sent her.
nice house with a lot of space. i wish we also have some backyard here para naman pwede rin magsandbox si RC

Those are really cute sandboxes, but I can't say I'm really a fan of sand...
ReplyDeleteI too grew up by the beach. Now live a half an hours drive away and I miss being able to step out of the house, cross the fields and be on the beach.
ReplyDeleteI think many a backyard has been graced with this turtle sandbox! I bet the person who designed it is happy that so many people buy it! It is handy and not an eyesore to look at.
ReplyDeleteWonderful for them to have two sandboxes! It's not the beach, but it's the next best thing.

Yes, sand is as plentiful in the Philippines as grass in a typical meadow. Your kids would just have to content themselves with sandboxes. Thanks for the post. God bless you all always.

ReplyDeleteganda naman nang yard nyo sis...green na green!
Really nice sand boxes! Wish we had our own backyard so that I can buy something like those for my Maia.

ReplyDeleteThe most fun I can remember from my childhood too was with simple things rather than "fancy" toys.
ReplyDeleteIt is funny how we have to give up so much sometimes when we move. I also grew up by the ocean. I miss it very much. Nice Sandbox.
ReplyDeleteYou have such a lovely children, I bet they will be very happy playing in these sand boxes. Have a lovely rest of the week!
ReplyDeleteThe children will have a marvelous time in the boxes. I, too, fondly rememeber sandpails and the beach as a child. I hope you have a great day. Blessings...Mary

Just darling. Great S post. Brings back memories since we had the turtle one too. The ship one is really cool.
ReplyDeleteGreat post. I still love going to the beach and playing in the sand even though I am not a kid anymore.
ReplyDeleteSuch great sandboxes! We had had a made one out of wood for our boys. They sure enjoyed running their trucks through the sand!
