We stuck close to home this weekend in order to participate in the annual Carmel Beach Sand Castle Building Contest. Up for grabs was the coveted golden shovel. The Dads' Group at Toby's school put together a pretty impressive turn out and Norah and I arrived on scene with just enough time to see the awards handed out.
While Toby and the other students and their dads didn't win the golden shovel (rumor had it other castle-builders were bribing the judges with wine and cheese--but I'm not entirely sure about that), they did win a plaque for "Judges Favorite." They made an otter (the school mascot), a VW LuvBug (according to this year's theme), and a few random castles. Toby helped dig the moat around the drip-tree castle.
Enjoy the pictures. We enjoyed the (windy) sunny day very much.

| This is how many of the pro sculptors start out. Then they carve out their creations from the big pile of wet sand. |

| I think this was an octopus eating a book, but it might have been something totally different from the opposite side. |
