Sand Sharks, Alligators and Penguins
This is the sixth summer of sand sculpting for me. How time flies. The weather was awesome this year, the sand was clean, the wind was perfect - and inspiration came easily.

Summer of Sand Art 2010
This is the fifth summer of sand sculpting for me, and it's still interesting and rewarding. My children are getting more involved, which is gratifying... and makes it much more of a family activity.

Summer of Sand Art 4
Another summer has come and gone. This time the weather wasn't the greatest throughout July and August, which made camping still fun but not quite the heavenly holiday it was supposed to be. Because of that, I did less sand art this summer, but here are a few pieces...

Summer of Sandcastles
I can't say exactly why, but this summer I decided to try my hand at sand sculpting. You know, more like art and less like pre-formed pails of sand.

Camping in Banff with Kids
Last year, my wife and I decided that we should try camping to see if the kids would like it. Oh, yes - very much so. Confident that we would make good use of a camping trailer, we ended up buying a TravelStar 18SB this spring. Then the question came of where to go camping?
