Before one park trip we went to the dollar store and bought containers and items to use in the sand. There weren't any official sand toys but we managed with ice cream scoops, strainers and plastic cups, etc. They worked out just fine because it kept not only the grandchildren entertained but all the other children at the park also! Hunter and Lyla especially loved making sand castles, digging motes, etc.
Bennett and I tried out the park equipment and
enjoyed the swings!
The girls did each others' hair and caught up on all their "getting back to school" sharing and other recent events. Oh, how they love to get any time together!
Then, of course, a park outing would never be complete without a visit to Water and Ice for an ice cream cone of their choice!
I LOVE IT!
