Got a photo of the helicopter landing on the yacht, like woah!

Todays sand castle ended up more of a mound. Do not be fooled by its simple appearance into thinking that it was easy to build. To amass that much sand took a very, very long time! The boys wanted to build it as tall as me but we decided it was near impossible to do. This is about an hour into the build. You will also notice we had a different crew member with us today, Sean, from Zimbabwe. It has been really interesting to hear where everyone is from and how they got involved with the boating business.

We then took a break from this exhausting work to take out the peddle boat. The wind was very strong and peddling was hard going. The kids had Sean and I working like dogs as they "helped" by kicking their feet off the back. At one point I had turned because it sounded as if there was a fight brewing and it's a good thing I had because somehow Ram had managed to drop his net off the back and without alerting us had jumped off the back to get it. He was on the verge of a breakdown and was calling out to us when I finally spotted him. We all had a good laugh though once we had fished him back onto the boat. He informed me he had yelled "man overboard" and couldn't understand why we hadn't stopped to help him. I told him he should yell louder next time he decided to leap into the sea.

Here we are nearing the finish of our day. I know it doesn't look like it grew much but we had a bit of an issue with a child thinking he could demolish it and we would happily rebuild it for him. He was sternly informed that he was out of his mind but we had already been set back by a good half a foot by the time he stopped his demolition.

Lunch, soccer, a quick shower and then off to dinner. We were just getting parked for dinner when the door was opened so the kids could file out they spotted a ferrari parked next to us. They were so excited and wanted to have a photo session with it. Tut's picture was my favorite. He got so serious cool.
