Playing in the Sand Without Getting Sandy

Do you like sending e-cards? How ’bout building sandcastles? I know how you can do both - at the same time! It’s so much fun! I’ve never built real Sandcastles before. There aren’t a whole lot of beaches in Colorado. LOL I watch those shows on TV whenever they’re on, though. You know the ones — the extreme sand carving shows? They’re awesome! Man, I wish I could do something like that. But I did the next best thing: I built my own virtual sandcastle! Wanna see it?

I got into it like you wouldn’t believe. LOL When I was finished, I visited the gallery to see other sandcastles, and realized immediately that I could do much better. lol So I know I’m going back and doing it again. And probably again. LOL It’s kind of addictive, and I want to see just how fancy of a sandcastle I can build!

Another cool feature is that when you’ve finished building your sandcastle, you can send it as an e-card to friends via email, and also save it to your computer as wallpaper! As soon as I build my ultimate castle, I am SO going to put it on my desktop! It’s a great activity for the kids, too. Let them build one with you, or show them how then let them go to town creating one on their own and surprise you with it. Kids love doing things like that! OK, I’ll stop talking now so you can go build your own! Oh, and be sure to have your speakers turned up. ;) No sandcastle would be complete without beach sounds!

Oh WOW!!! ) Your sandcastle is sooo COOL, Leigh!

Every summer a sandcastle sculptures event/comp is held on the foreshore of one of our local beaches. They truly are amazing!! You’ll find everything from castles to mermaids, to animated characters from movies such as Finding Nemo and Atlantis. And much, much MORE!

Keep up the good work, coz you’re well on your way to becoming apart of this special event!

I must tell the boys about virtual sandcastles.
Thanks for sharing!
