sand castles on the beach

my excellent sister-in-law, CA, sent these pictures to me to enjoy. i don't know where or when the sand castle competition took place, but it looks like a lovely location. there were more pictures, but these grabbed me because of their humor. let me know if you want me to e-mail you the whole set.
