The second annual DIG sandcastle tournament
Today was the second annual sandcastle tournament hosted by the Kachers/Riersons. Once again it was a spectacular day at the beach - not a cloud in the sky and high 60s temp, little/no wind.
Last year, we were paired with the Crawfords, who ended up not making the event. J&D were 3, and quite a handful to keep track of (no, don't go into the water!). Annabel was 5 months pregnant with Tyler. Needless to say, our sandcastle efforts were rather limited (some might say futile).
What a difference a year makes -- this time around, we left Tyler at home with Jade, and the 4 year old boys were pretty into the whole thing - even helping out for a while. Annabel was mobile, and we were paired with Franzie and Nicole, who brought all kinds of skills/energy to the table. We did a shark (given that the boys are pretty obsessed with them these days), and the picture doesn't really do the shark justice - it looked pretty good! We ended up taking second place, so we're now the proud owners of a little trophy.
The boys had a great time - running around on the beach with their friends, helping with the shark, and eating lots of food (this is a pretty big event - probably 30 families and ~15 teams participating). It'll be a lot of fun as they get older and become more active in the contest. Unfortunately we forgot our camera, so below is what i could do with the phone (unless/until i get a better one from Glen).
