Should Sandcastle Building be in the Olympics?!

On Saturday I somehow found myself at a SANDCASTLE COMPETITION!  And let me tell you, there was some serious mad sandcastle skills going on.  I am definitely impressed.

People had their sprayers, paint brushes, and other tools you wouldn't normally think of as needed to build a sandcastle.  There were all kinds of categories, kids, families, groups, and for all different kinds of sand castles: best turtle, best mermaid, best chowderhead, etc.

Here are a few of my favorites:


That's a zombie crawling out of his grave, in case you couldn't tell!

This is Homer Simpson in case you can't tell. 

 This one was probably the best one.  Look at those "rocks"!


I love me some elephants.  

I was also seriously impressed by this one. 

Anyway, this was a pretty pointless post - but I was way too impressed with these sandcastles to not share.  Perhaps we shall see sandcastle building in Rio in the 2016 Olympics?!?! 

What kind of sandcastle skills do you possess?  Didn't think anyone would ever ask you that question, did you???

They have a sand building competition in Cannon Beach every year. I never once went once I lived in that area but was always amazed by the pictures. People are so talented!

Those are some impressive sand castles! I don't think I have many skills. My sand castles look like Mount Rainier.

That looks like so much fun! I don't have any sandcastle building skills, I would definitely not do well in a competition.

What is SOOOOO cool! I feel like you have some sort of awesome adventure every weekend. How do you do it? Side note: I don't think this is an Olympic sport I could qualify for.

Seriously, I was ridiculously impressed.� I suck at all things creative.� You, Lindsay, do NOT and would probably ROCK at it.� I have a feeling half the battle is just in having the right tools.�

We once stumbled onto a sandcastle contest when we were driving down the peninsula-it was amazing! Who knew you could do all that with sand and water? I never had any good sandcastle skills...but I could make a mean mud pie!
