Building in August & September on the Massachusetts Street beach, in Lewes, Delaware
Promising rain and cloudy, our beach wasn’t crowded at all.
My good friend, Marie, who couldn’t stop herself from building today
The beach wasn’t as crowded, for a holiday weekend, as it has in years past. (thank heavens.)
3 sides of their castle
Casey and Morgan came back (first taught them on August 21) and built a spectacular castle.
I slowly built another castle today – just taking it easy – hopefully, my back and knee will strengthen)
Tara (16), Kellie (15), from Media, PA, staying in Wildwood, NJ, came over on the Cape-May Lewes ferry to learn and build!
Maddy (9) and Avery (8), from New York State, and Chadham, NJ, build a great sandcastle today.
Mom Robin, Porter (10), Olive (12), and friend Ellen (12), of Philadelphia, came to learn and build sandcastles.
Although I didn’t get down to our beach till 4pm, kids were ready to build castles! Some of them remembered me from last year.
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!
