    From start to finish this was the coolest, most detailed lesson! Kids 10 and 12 loved it. Both parents too! Andy os amazing and this is worth the cost! We had an unbelievable # of people stop and take pictures and ask about it as we were building! South Padre should promote this WAY more for all their tourists!
