Clark does it again!

This year at the 30th annual U.S. Open Sandcastle Competetion we returned to defend our title in the Executive Sandbox division with great success.

We started Saturday on Cronado with a practice session building a scaled down version of our "Sand Trap" theme. The practice session went well but still not sure what competetion we would be facing on Sunday.

Sunday morning we began by bucketing water to our plot prepping the sand for the build, imagine 10 people each with 2, 5 gallon buckets making roughly 30 trips back and fourth from the ocean to the plot where we would be building, now thats team work! At 9 am the airhorn sounded the start of the competetion and we bagan shoveling sand from 3 seperate locations to create 3 seperate structures.

At 2 pm the airhord sounded again and it was time to stop and wait for the judges to comeby and visit. During this time I was able to check out the other participants in our division, all creative and all solid competetion! The only regret I have is not having enough time to take a look at the Masters division.

We all waitied anxiously for the results, not sure what the outcome would be since we had some stiff competetion. When they announced the first place winner for our division we stood up and cheered and graciously walked up as a team and accepted our trophy!
