Sandcastle Competition

Every year in Imperial Beach a world-class sandcastle competition is held.  People come from all over southern California and it's usually packed.  This year, however, there was a thunderstorm that morning and, not knowing how long it would last, many people who would have to travel long distances were deterred from venturing to the beach.  Lucky for us, it's our closest beach and when we got there the rain had let up and it was a beautiful day.

For the most part Parker and Kate were too enthralled in the giant sandcastles to pose for a picture, but I was able to snap a couple.
