Meeting kids and families, and teaching others to build castles is fun and very rewarding, beside being very relaxing!
A castle a day keeps my high blood pressure away!
Maura (4) learning 2 methods of making sand trees
I teach kids the usual method of dripping water and sand, also a way that kids like, using a funnel with water and sand (invented by a very young Charlie, from Frederica, DE.) Maura (4) decided to decorate her castle like a funnel cake.

Returning to the beach!
I am packed up, and will be coming tomorrow (August 5.) Except for a trip or two home and to the airport, I ‘ll be there till September 24.
I’ll gather up sand tools and buckets, and plan to be there building, by Tuesday – and hope to see you!
Watching this weather & the hurricane
Depending on what Hurricane Florence does, i will go to Lewes on Thursday or Friday, and stay til the following Tuesday.
Til then, i am home in Pennsylvania, just watching weather reports.
Will be back in Lewes Sept 11- 18
In the meantime, here are some very cool images that Chris Goedecke superimposed on a close up of one of my castles –

My oldest granddaughter, Sue, opted for a castle
My last castle before going home.
The family from Albany built a decorated wedding cake. Mom, Stephanie, Parker 9, and Ashlyn 6. Greg, the Dad, has been bitten by the sandcastle building bug, and will be making them for years to come!
A sand pedicure?
Yes! You may have guessed that Piper’s mom had something to do with it, but Aunt BJ was in charge of filling the “basins” at the bottom of the sand spa chairs.
The family from Albany, NY, built today
It’s so nice to see the creations that this family does!
I think Greg (Parker 9, Ashlyn 6, and Sawyer 2’s Dad) was “bitten by the bug”, and will be building sandcastles for a long time! Mom Stephanie is a great cheerleader for the creations, as is Mamma and Papa ?
