WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN WESTERN MICHIGAN AT THE GRAND HAVEN STATE PARK.
Welcome to the 31st. annual Sand Sculpture Contest. The contestants have just two hours to begin and finish their projects.
Only simple tools are allowed for sculpting.
The green bottle to the left is a mister to keep the sculpture from drying out.
The straw was for the making a checkered tablecloth in one sculpture. Otherwise the equipment looks like what I would drag to the beach for my children and grandchildren though out shovels were smaller.
This is the kind of "castles" Margaret and I use to built. My children and grandchildren built the same kind. A moat for water with walls to protect the castle made of sand packed into a sand pail to mold it for the castle. There is always a hole where it is fun to dig for water under the beach.
A harbor with sailboats.
Madagascar with the lion and penguins.

Beautiful sign for Grand Haven with mermaid tails for people to stand behind to have their pictures taken.

Margaret and I would spend hours making trees or castles like this one by pouring wet sand and water through our fingers.

COUCH POTATO.
King Tut's tomb.
Remember this was built in just two hours.
I am awed by the details.
I heart Grand Haven had audio as well as a sculpter with the sculpters beating buckets to sound like a heart beat.
The heart.
This one had a name but I didn't recognize it.
Dogs digging in the sand.
Dogs #2. You know I love dogs.
Tent camping with the fire pit ready for a match.
I think they need a larger tent.
You are so cute, Dragon. I just wanted to take Dragon home to play with Izzy.
I'm sorry Dragon. I cut off your nose to show your foot.
I like Dragons.
I take lots of pictures of "animals".

Beautiful details on the picnic basket.
Grapes look good enough to eat.

Oh, oh! Spilled your drink. I guess the party is over.
