World Championships of Sand Sculpture

Anybody heard of this sport before? We drove out to Harrison Hot Springs one afternoon and were amazed at the huge artwork right there on the beach! The sculptures are made using only sand and water. When the sculptures are complete, the artists spray them with some special formula that helps hold them together. After about a month, the local kids are allowed to kick the sculptures down. Doesn't that sound like fun?



This was one of John's favorites - the Terracotta Warriors!



This was one of Charlotte's favorites - do you see how his forehead is pressed against the glass of the tank?
