15 Tons and a Bottle of Advil (and maybe that bottle of rum)

It came, it’s in, and we’re pooped!  I’ve spent the day back and forth with excitement and ‘what on earth was I thinking’ moments.  Who in their right mind puts this much sand in their yard?  (Obviously no one.)  So we’ll see which side I land on after the 18 children leave tomorrow night!  Looks like I’ve delayed replacing our floors for the next ten years! : )

  Harv put in his box so we can plug in the projector behind the kids instead of running cords all over the play area…he’s always thinking!

Of course Harvey has decided to put lawn right up to the sand and rock area…that bathtub is never going to see a bare bottom!
