Parksville sandcastle competition

Parksville is the best beach to take the kids. Not only does it have a beautiful beach, but there is a huge water park and playground for the little ones.
There is also a really cool sandcastle building competition every year.

This one was so big. It was a lunar landing scene and the astronauts are amazed to discover two hillbilly martians drinking and playing music. There was even a martian dog howling. Hilarious. There were a lot more "castles", but it was quite crowded and a bit difficult to get good pictures. You could also vote for your favorite sand sculpture. Neat.
