In the Midst of Irrational Exuberance

Pretty much the first thing Anthony said the first morning we were here was that he wanted to play in the sand, remembering the sand pile and toys from when we were here last year.

When trying it for the first time this trip, he was so excited about everything that he even waved to the camera (something he's not normally prone to do).

Being quite a bit older now, he can interact with the play backhoe quite a bit more than before. It's a joy for him to play with and discover, and a joy for us to watch...
