My sister, Chris, tipped us off to this great Sand Sculpting Contest on Walnut Beach today so Mark and I decided to take the kids and check it out. We were hoping to meet up with the Rodriguez clan but no luck. So we waded through the sand and water on our own and saw some pretty neat sand sculptures. They weren't like the professional kind where they have the waxy stuff delivered by the dump-truckfuls but there were some pretty impressive sculptures (made from plain old beach sand) anyway. We saw Shrek and Spiderman, an Ipod, some dragons and trains, a Christmas tree, a surfer dude running away from three sharks, a family of Lions and a bunch of other great creations. After seeing them all, we let the boys roll up their jeans and go wading. It was low tide and the boys could have gone for miles in water only up to their knees. The water was the perfect temperature and there were lots of crabs and minnows and shells to explore. Caleb had an especially good time frolicking in the sand and water with nothing but his diaper and a smile on. We will definitely be adding the Milford Sand Sculpting Contest to our annual events and I'm really hoping to visit Walnut Beach again before the weather turns--only next time we'll take our swimsuits and some buckets and some shovels. Who knows? Maybe with a little practice we'll even enter the contest and win us some cash!
