Beach Whale

This was going to be a wonderfully sculpted elaborate koi fish, but we misjudged the tides and started building in the wrong place. It was our first day on the beach. We were total land lubbers. We had to cut our losses and quickly make it into a happy whale before it got washed away by the ocean waves. By the time I got the camera, his tail was mostly washed away.

When we were trying to decide what to make, we quickly realized our skills were limited. Fortunately, thanks to Will, we had sand castle lessons planned for the next day. We intended to go back and make a koi fish at some point on our trip, but we just got too busy. Perhaps next summer. This whale turned out quite nice though. I especially like the happy face that Ava gave him.
