not your average day at the beach

the girls take the shuttle over to Siesta Key

to the Sarasota Sand Castling Contest

(about 30 miles north of us)

looks like there were some amazing sculptures

definitely some cute kids

Emily said they use some kind of glue and water spray

amazing!

the detail

and they are huge

looks like a lot of work

glue spray or not

the beach there is really beautiful

it has a very gentle slope

and Em could wade out a long way she said

the temperature of the water now is about 74 degrees

they weren't sure what was up with this one....

but you can see at the top how he is building it

Arlo stayed home and wore grandma and grandpa out

eat, walk, play with train, stroller, eat, ride in wagon, read, nap

ride bike, throw the ball, eat, read

feed the fish, water the plants and look for lizards

glad everyone had a good day
