While deciding what to do with the girls on this summer Saturday, Jeremy suggested Sand in the City down in Arvada. We looked it up, saw that it involved a sand sculpting competition, sand boxes to play in, food, games, and decided it looked like fun. There weren't many sand sculptures, but some of them were pretty well done. This antique car was really sleek.
The teddy bear playing in the sand was fun and playful.
But my favorite was the Despicable Me minions. They were both cute and well done.
After we had admired the artwork for a bit, the girls had a chance to play in a giant sand box. They love sand any day of the week and were quite happy simply digging and filling their buckets.
Once Jeremy joined the fun they were able to produce a sand castle of sorts until other wandering children played destruct-o with it and then it was time to move on.
We found some giant bubbles to blow.
And then moved onto the inflatable toys. The girls were able to climb in a hamster ball. I wanted to desperately because it looked like so much fun, but alas.... McKenzie surprised me by asking to go on it twice and had a blast in there. She needed Jeremy to keep her moving, but that was to be expected of her munchkin size.
Both girls, and Jeremy, loved running through the obstacle course. And Cambrie enjoyed the climbing wall. She made it high enough that she became quite nervous and with only one hand hold to go from the top she called it quits and lowered herself down. I was impressed she made it as high as she did.
Unfortunately our fun came to an abrupt end as McKenzie received a bloody nose on the bounce castle. Her little nose wouldn't stop bleeding and we quickly went through our stash of tissues, strangers wipes, and moved on to rolls of toilet paper from the porta-potties. Needless to say it was time to calm things down. We found some free snow cones and pizza samples then headed home. The girls were filthy and exhausted, but Cambrie thanked us for a fun day so at least we all had a good time.
