Busy weekend

We've had a very busy weekend, since Ryan's been on a 4 day weekend. Friday afternoon we built Braven a sandbox. Well, i sat in a chair, Braven helped alittle, but mostly chased Dakota around the year, and Ryan built the sandbox. Braven did hammer in a few nails. Today we went to church, and Braven was great. We stayed after for treats, and everyone was telling us what a good boy we have. Keep it up Braven! We then came home and we took a nap, while daddy put some plastic under the sandbox. After nap time we decided we would go to a lake area to get some sand. That was an experience! We drove for a while trying to find a spot with decide sand. We ended up going down a road we shoudn't have drive down. And to my knowledge Ryan never packed his gun, so i was really scared. It reminded me of my many journeys with Randy and Ryan, always getting stuck. But, getting stuck out in the middle of know where in North Dakota is funny. In Montana, its scary, and with a toddler. We did have Dakota with us. Anyways, Ryan decided the only chance we had was if he floored it, so Braven, Dakota, and I got out, and Ryan took a run at it. Thank GOD he made it. Well, he did end up putting a hole in his radiator, so to save alittle money on Sand and get it ourselves, we will be spending about $200 on the pickup. OOPS! After all this, we did make it to get some sand. Which again was hard work, i did actually help alittle, while Braven fake drove the pickup, and Ryan did most of the work. I played with Dakota by through sticks in the water and she went swimming after them. She is now passed out for the night. We then made it home tonight at 7p, and i did actually due a huge amount of shoveling the sand in the sandbox, while Braven continued to drive the pickup. We over filled the sandbox, and still have alot of sand left in the pickup, oops! Then we played in the sandbox, and grilled out for supper. I finally had to tell the boys they could only play til 9 tonight. They were having so much fun. Then we came in for bathtime and bedtime. Braven should sleep good tonight.
