Sand Castles in Galveston

We went and saw a sand castle contest in Galveston sometime in June. The ocean water is SO warm! You can literally walk out a good 100 yards or so and still stand up with water up to your waist/chest. The water seems a little murky and there's some seaweed in some parts, but after you get past a certain point, it's just warm sea water and it's kinda fun to just feel the waves come pushing past your body. It's no Hawaii--but it was still a fun time.

This is supposed to be the set of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory with the chocolate river etc.


of course, here we have the Ice Age animal chasing his nut(s)

No Clue, but still cool:

This was the single, best one. SO much detail on this oriental style one!
