Backyard Fun: Revisited

It finally cleared up enough for Charlotte to test out the playsand we bought a week or so ago. She began the experience totally relatively sane. She was cute and pointed out which room she wanted in the castle that Aunt Mandy made for her. She even helped make some castles of her own.

Once a little sand hit the patio things quickly deteriorated.
