Bucket List Challenge # 1.... Build a 2 metre Sandcastle. Complete!

Ashley Mountfort... A wonderful friend who always sees the positive and the good and possibility and grace in every situation. Someone who has a playful childlike spirit in a world of adults who have stamped it out... You're beautiful.

Your bucket list challenge for me was to build a 2 metre high sandcastle with the little popcorn bucket you gave me. Today I did it!  Well, we may have picked up some tools from the Hardware store so that it didn't take 5 hours to make!
With the help of Tegan and some friendly kids on the beach... We had a fabulous time in the sun and wind! Feeling like a child again, playing in the sand, listening to the gulls and breeze and waves.
Thank you for giving me a challenge that made me be a kid!

Here is the photo evidence...

Starting out.... With our handy tools from Mitre Ten Mega and the trusty popcorn bucket



This, my friends is why you build a moat first! Because of the rouge waves!



The waves were AMAZING today!



The these two kidlets joined us! Moved to NZ from NY just 5 days ago, they're loving the beach!

Okay, so they tried to help.... but mostly just threw sand around and broke the edges cause they couldn't get close enough... But we appreciated the company!



The finished product!  With the moat round the edge and the bucket on top, it would have been pretty much 2 metres tall but definitely 2 metres long and wide.
