Sandcastles

This past weekend was the AIA Sandcastle competition in Galveston. We went last year when Sam was itty-bitty, had a great time and decided to make it an annual thing.

This year, I'm sorry to say, we weren't that impressed. There were around 70 entries and several focused on the same concepts. "Octo-Mom" which was an octopus holding a baby in each tentacle and something having to do with the stack of money with eyes on top from the Geico commercials. Even the sandcastles themselves didn't seem on par with last years.

The beach itself was VERY crowded and we are happy to report that the water is already warm there. It didn't even look as brown/opaque as the Galveston water usually does. Sam was brave and kept wading out further and further (with parental supervision of course!)
