Sand In The City!

I can't tell you how much I love the Sand In the City event that is held every year to raise money for the Olympia Children's Museum. I love, love, love it! They have tons of different activities for kids that all revolve around science, the arts and being creative. They have music and dancing, bubbles, side walk chalk and best of all, they have the most amazing sand sculptures that local companies make. This year was the tenth anniversary of Sand in the City and it was a GREAT one! My favorite this year? Every child got a free book. Love it! Darci, Emilie, Trey and my mom drove to Olympia to witness this event for the first time and we all had fun watching the girls do different activities. As you look through the pictures you'll notice that Maddie is missing; this would be because she stayed up until 10:30 the night before and promptly had a melt down upon arrival. As soon as she was home she slept for over 3 hours! Poor tired pumpkin!

They have two huge sand pits set up at the event and it's always a favorite!

This was Taylor's favorite activity of the day. How easy and fun! Future birthday party activity for sure....

Taylor making her vase.

Aren't these incredible? Toy Story 3.
