Sand Castle Contest

The Conference Center has a sandcastle contest each year, and we decided to participate.  We wanted to reprise our Grand Prize Sandcastle from 20 years ago when we made Rachel into the Little Mermaid, but Rachel wasn't so obliging this year.  So, Katie had the idea to make a baseball field. 

Seeing the field take shape.
 The expert baseball field architect hard at work.
 The finished product.  If you click on the picture, you can see the stands with "jelly belly" fans and the opposing teams in the dugouts.  And, we called it "In the Big Inning," based on Genesis 1:1. 
Yep, we won!  The Johnsons are a slightly competitive bunch.

Such cute cute pictures of a cute cute family (I'm sure Chad is thrilled with that title) What a great week we had together as a complete family in such a wonderful place. I'm homesick for it already!
