    We just got back from our trip to Gulf Shores Alabama. It was a great vacation. It was Brayden's first trip to the Ocean, and he loved it. As you all know by now I love to build things, so when we got there we started figuring what we were going to build in the sand. There were several turtles, alligators, and sand castles already built so we decided to go big. My Brother found a picture of a airplane in the brochure at the condo we were staying in. We decided to build it and of course we added a our on little touch. We made it look like it had crashed on the beach and broke a wing off. It took four of us seven hours to build it. I could not believe the number of people who came bye and took pictures of it and commented on it.

    Wow, looks like "Lost" plane! Nice job. Sounds like a lot of work, 7 hours on a sand sculpture.

    A true work of art. Such a pity that the sea will have taken it away by now after all the hard work you put into it. Still at least you have photographs to remember it by. :-D

    Now that is a truly original sand sculpture. No wonder you had so many spectators. Great job by all of you :p
