New Toy

Morning Routine Play by Play--Here we are.  It is 7:45 AM at Santiago Christian Academy.  Brian is ready and at his post.......

It is now 7:46 AM and the magic starts to happen.....can you hear it?  With heave-ho force, Brian begins to lift the lid......

 

 

7:46 AM....the veiled suprise beneath is revealed!!!!  What could it be?

7:46 AM  Ooooooo......Aaaaaaa....I SEE it!!!!  It's beautiful!!!!! And yet? 
It's still missing something.....

8:00 AM  Now THIS is what I call a SANDBOX!!!  And a well loved one at that!!!

 

On a more serious note....Brian was asked to build a sandbox for the school and this is what he came up with!  As you can tell by the pictures above, the children LOVE it!!!!  A sandbox is not something you find in Chile.  Of course there are several thousand miles of coast with lots of beaches, but many of these children seldom get to travel to the coast.  And what kid does not love to play in a sandbox?  There were a few modifications as it was built.  The first being the wall built out of wood logs.  This is to keep sand from finding its ways in the climbing wall that is adjacent to the sandbox.  The second addition was the top that opens and closes.  This was done to keep the stray cats from enjoying the sand box as well.  To God be the Glory the whole project came together very well over this last week!
