What could be better than a pile of dirt ...

Uncle Kevin took the kids up to the sand pit this weekend, and found this instead. A developer is going to build on our beloved sand pit, and had created a great place for the kids to play.

As a child my brothers and I would toboggan, snowmobile and climb the hills. Now twenty-five years later our kids are doing the same things.
