Rock Box

Our kids love to dig in the dirt. They can spend hours digging holes in the backyard. Which would be fine, but we are trying to re-landscape some of the backyard. They are undoing everything we are doing. So in an effort to give our kids a place to dig and save ourselves from redoing our work; Matt built a rock box. Technically it is a sandbox, but who wants to deal with sand, not to mention all the neighborhood cats who would visit it, so we filled it with pea gravel. The kids LOVE it!

Our little digger...

Even Brenna gets into the act...

Don't get between a little man and his rocks...

Matt did such a great job building this rock box. We are going to build a canopy to go over the top to keep the leaves and pine needles out of it.

Here is my man working hard to conquer the ivy that is trying to take over our backyard...
