Sand Castle Building

We love the beach!
Sand Castles

This past Friday night I took the kids to see the awesome sand castles being sculpted at Hampton Beach, NH as part of the 13th Annual Master Sand Sculpting Competition, June 20 - 22, 2013. 

 The beach was buzzing with people from all over to see the awesome creations! The contestants are listed HERE
