Sand Castles

Charlotte and her 5th grade class participated in the LEAP Sand Castle Contest this year. The theme was "Leap Year 2012 (things that jump)!" Her team built a series of 4 sand castles: a sleeping child "dreaming of a fantastical menagerie," a rabbit/kangaroo, a shark/frog, and a crocodile/snake.

The plan

This is a view of all of the teams hard at work. Charlotte's team was wearing blue t-shirts, and they are in the top half of the photo.

This is supervisor Alexander who stopped by after his soccer game to inspect Charlotte's progress.

We returned to Ocean Beach for the end of the contest to see the finished sand castles. The sun came out, the fog burned off, and we enjoyed checking out their creations. Charlotte's team won the prize for "Most Memorable!"
