Amateur sand sculptors at work but we are getting better at hand stacking and compaction–two well documented tips on building a great sandcastle!  If you are looking for your 30 seconds of fame, build a sandcastle the next time you go to the beach.  We were amazed by the beachgoers (all ages and sizes) that came by to inquire and photograph our work.  There is something very gratifying about creating something others enjoy.

I built a sand castle,
I thought it would stand.
Because after all,
It was built from the land.

From all of it’s windows,
For miles I could see.
Each day a new vision,
From there was for me.
