Sand Castle lessons with Andy Hancock! We had the great honor of meeting Andy away from the lesson area, and enjoyed his company a lot. When we discovered that he gave the lessons, our decision whether or not this would be fun for both girls, was easily made for us. Absolutely! We joined Andy on the beach on a somewhat dreary day. Rained over night and off and on the remainder of the day. We were fortunate that the weather held out for us for a couple hours.

Our 4 yr old of course was enthralled with the whole process, and she and I quickly caught on to the very simple instructions given by Andy. We began our Sand Castle built for a beach princess, complete with sea shell adornment.

Our 17 yr old is very artistic and naturally wanted something a little more challenging. With a brief family discussion we decided that she would build a dragon. Andy was so attentive, and easy to follow his instructions, that making this rather difficult sculpture became reality in just under 2 hours. Wow! The details on the face, wings, and tail were amazing. (I wish i had the ability to share the photos).

Needless to say, a good time was had by all, and both girls came away with knowledge as well as entertainment. We look forward to building on our skills in the years to come.

Thank you Andy! You’re the best!

The Garretts; Chris, Dottie and our girls.
