One Huge Sandbox

The sand was kind of a mystery to us last year when we visited the beach. We had never really experienced sand much before then, but over the last year Mom and Dad gave us a backyard sandbox to develop our digging skills. We thought we were really ready for the beach this year, but we forgot how huge it was. Our sandbox is very small and shallow compared to St. Pete Beach. There is more sand here than we could dig in a lifetime, and this sandbox is very deep. We dug down about two feet and found water. That was a big surprise and so was Benji’s response to me climbing in our hole. Before I could wiggle out he poured sand and water on my head. I suppose we still have some things to learn about the beach.
