Love of dirt

Zack has a new fascination with dirt, or sand, as I was told by a 4 year old at the park today. It's is his new favorite activity, at least when away from his trains and trucks.

It's harder than you would imagine to find some dirt to play in these days, since all the new playgrounds have wood chips instead of sand but there are still a few good ones around.

Here are a few pics of him having a great time in old fashion dirt (sand)!

He needs two shovels lately but is pretty good about sharing if he has to.


Of course he was really excited when two of his favorite things came together. A building by the house was demolished and he got to watch the excavator's from his books, dig in his beloved dirt!

Dad took him over for a short look when it wasn't too dangerous.
