What a great day on the beach today, having seasoned builders come back!
The first two are two of my favorite people, Molly and her brother, Colin, from Toughkennamon, who were here on August 3rd, saying they’d be back – and they did come back! Colin was in process, working on his castle, when the calimari called him from Striper Bites (actually, it was Colin’s mom, saying they had to leave, enticing him with lunch, including that calimari!) Colin’s castle had a collapse, but I promised him I would give his building site to an accomplished sandcastle builder.
The third picture is my son, Brendan, who starting building castles when he was 2 years old (well, really roads and bridges.) He hasn’t built a castle in a long time – but came up with a crisp, angular design yesterday, that made me really happy to see him building alongside of me again, after many years! (I hope Colin is happy with his ‘sub!’)
Fourth, is Lila and Owen’s Aunt Kelsie, who used to watch me many years ago, and build her own castles. She was the best cheerleader for her niece and nephew!
Last, my castle, yesterday.
Molly 7, from Toughkennamon came back to build again!
The calimari called Colin 10, from Toughkennamon, right before he had a major collapse
My son, Brendan, came to the beach with his wife Julie, and their 15 month old baby, Maura. It made me very happy to have Brendan building alongside of me, as he used to do. And what a great structure!
It was amazing to have Lila 5, and Owen 8, from West Chester, PA and their Aunt Kelsie (who used to build here)
My castle today (one of my favorites.) Then again, every day is my favorite <3
