Haven's new house has a full sand volleyball court--right next to the immense (and nicely landscaped with like 100 tons of rocks) pool. The kids are a little small to appreciate volleyball, but they love to make monkey sand, as Eli calls it (or mucky sand), which is what happens when you run a sprinkler or hose in the sand.
They started out just playing in the sand, but it quickly turned "monkey"... Especially since the first two days we were there were in the 70s. (Nice weather!)
It's hard to get good photos when the kids are really interested in something because they just won't look at you! Whit went with Emerson and Haven to a shooting range, so these photos feature Ethan, Lawrence, Clarissa, Eli and Dora (and sometimes Elise.) 
Someone is very happy! And you will note--for the record--fully clothed at the outset. 
Here's Elise contemplating taking a little swim.
By now Eli's lost his pants... Dora immediately wanted hers off when he took his off (because they were sand and water logged) and Clarissa had hers off before I could get Dora's off! Ha. 
A little water, anyone? 
Check out Eli's brown bum--he decided to slide down the dirt hill (sand mound) by the sand court after playing in the water puddle. Kinda funny! 
Elise was just happy to be around the other Big Kids. You will notice she too insisted on going pantsless.
Brown bum!
Dora was having a ball... We thought maybe we should build a big sandbox at our house... 
All the sand in the house decided us against it... 
Thanks for letting us fill your house with sand, Aunt Teresa. We had a great time!
