Neither Tristan or I have ever been down to the Annual Sand in the City event that Olympia Hands on Children's Museum holds each summer, so this year we decided to do it! We made the mistake of waiting until the afternoon, when it was boiling hot and we were rushing before dinner, but we still got some fun play time in!
We quickly walked through and saw some of the amazing sand sculptures, but failed to get any pictures of them...oh well, next year!
They had a couple of large sandboxes for the kids to play in and Ethan dug in to the fun!
We spent most of our time at the toddler rotation stations. There were lots of things to do that were right up Ethan's alley. He LOVED the Play Doh table (which we already knew) so we spent a lot of time there.
He also really liked the sand painting. I've recreated this at home using sugar and he has a great time making designs in it with paint brushes.
We finally got him to leave the toddler stations to explore a little more and found this fun water station. The garbage cans were full of sponge balls and you had to throw them and try to get them through the holes...Ethan just liked taking them and dropping them in the pools. Tristan tried to help him throw some, though!
He also really like the touch tank with the star fish. He wasn't sure what to think at first but then I had to keep pulling them away from him!
We only ended up getting to spend about an hour and a half down there but it was lots of fun and we look forward to going again next year!

Looks like you guys had a lot more fun than we did! The only pictures we got were of the sand sculptures because our child was melting down the whole time and wasn't interested in any of the fun things that Ethan did...I guess there's always next year.
