Building Sand Castles for my Birthday

We were able to fly away to

Cabo

for New Years and my birthday

(the only way to get a year older!)

I went down to the beach with

my daughter and two of the grandchildren

to play in the sand.

Having a bag full of sand toys

and finding a mount of sand we

decided to have fun and build a

huge sand castle.

It was turning out so well that

I had to send my daughter back

up the hill to the house to get

the camera!

The castle is ruled over by

this huge fire-breathing dragon

and his little baby dragon who

is protected inside the castle walls.

One of the kid's favorite things

to get down here in Mexico is

Kinder Eggs

and they had Despicable Me

characters in them.  Agnes

gives a perspective of the size of the

sand castle.

The minions give some perspective too.

But you can get the best perspective with

some of the builders posing behind it.

It was a day full of fun

while the others went to swim with

whale sharks!

I said this was the greatest

sandcastle I had ever built.  It 

wouldn't have been possible 

without some great sand toys!
