It Only Takes One Stick....

We were happy to see all of the summer sand toys are out at the stores. We are in desperate need for new stuff since the constant sun here really does a number on them in our sandbox. We picked out new buckets and shovels and headed to the park in the wagon. Once we arrived, I spotted a giant pile of sticks probably left there by the landscapers. I may not be one, but I know boys pretty darn well, and I REALLY know my boys. It wasn't 30 seconds before our sparkly new sand toys were tossed aside and sticks were in hands. I must say, they played with them for at least a half hour and there was no fighting, no injuries, and no hitting. I was seriously impressed. Everett referred to the pile as the "stick store" and was quite happy that it was well stocked. I love these pictures.
