Delaware’s Governor Markham issued a mandatory evacuation last night, and I packed all the buckets, molds, shovels and paraphenalia up from the dunes on the beach – I’ll be back building on Monday, August 29th (God willing, and the bay and canal don’t rise again.) Hoping we don’t lose power, and Hurricane Irene doesn’t damage our beach or cottage!
Sydney and Quin, from Media, PA had a ‘refresher lesson’ and built, but thunder chased us.
Thunder on the beach Thursday (Aug 25) put a stop to my plans to build ( I did have time to teach 2 great kids from Media, PA – Sydney and her brother, Quin, but the thunder chased us before I could get the picture of their castle with them.)
Tuesday and Wednesday’s castles, and 2 castle builders from Laurel, MD
Building on the beach on Monday, August 22, 2011
Met and taught a great family from Alexandria with 2 boys: Gavin (5) and Trevor (2 1/2); also met 2 cousins who got together here in Lewes – one from Herndon, VA; the other from Boyerstown, PA. And also had a great niece, Katie (6 1/2) from Phoenixville, PA and a granddaughter, Sofia (7) from West Chester, PA
Short day at the beach on Sunday, August 21
Met some very nice people, including Aria (10), from Brooklyn, NY; Almost finished an alligator. Rolling thunder preceeded an incoming storm.
Saturday, August 20 – great students/ great castle!
Casey, from Lewes, DE, and Morgan, from Rehoboth – and the best castle on the beach! (fantastic students!)
Thursday, August 18, 2011, on the beach in Lewes, DE
Mika (12), from Washington, DC, and I, in front of a castle we built together.
Castles every nice day
Mika, (11), from Washington, DC, an excellent student from last year
Mika’s castle is so beautiful – she took her time, and added lots of little things that really made her castle beautiful.
A new student – Liam, (11) Eldersburg, VA
