Micah and I built a sand castle at the beach. We used different types of buckets to build towers of different shapes and sizes. Sometimes the towers fell apart. We would clear away the sand and start over. The sand needed just the right amount of water. Too much and it would stick to the bucket. Not enough and it would crumble. Once all the walls and towers were built it was time to decorate! We spent over an hour looking for the perfect shells and rocks to put on and around the castle. Once it was done it was an amazing sight! We enjoyed looking at it for the rest of the day.

What is the speaker's point of view about building sand castles?

• It is too hard to build sand castles on the beach

• Hard work can lead to amazing things

• Sand castles can be built quickly

• It is fun to build sand castles
