mix a lil' water and lil' sand...

...and you've got the perfect play date. For boys, of course. Kaden is always talking about Owen and how we need to "get him". Owen is the neighbor friend who lives across the street. He has two sisters that Kaden adores as well, but he's always asking for Owen. So yesterday, Owen, his mom and little sis, joined us for play in the backyard. Fun, lots of fun was had by these two boys! Let's just say that sand was everywhere possible. And a good hosing down was required at the end.

The remnants of an afternoon made for boys. Or by boys. However you look at it, it's pretty yuck!
