It started with a reasonable idea in my 8-year old son's thinking. To make a really BIG sand castle, you need a really BIG pail. I watched with mild amusement as they took the big green bucket (which we use to ferry toys to and from the beach), and started filling it with sand.
"This is going to be the biggest sand castle EVER!"
"Don't use the dry sand, it's too dry."
It took them about 10 minutes to fill the bucket up with sand, pack it down hard, and then fill it again. Heavy, wet sand -- it probably wieghed well over 150 pounds -- and when the Engineers went to turn it upside down, to make the foundation of their castle, they realized it was too heavy.
"Push!!!"
"No Puuuuuullllll."
Kodak moments.
