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.
