A rainy day is a day off for me πŸ’•πŸŒ§οΈπŸ’•

After church, I had my breakfast here (pasta and shrimp from last night,) put on my bathing suit, sunscreen, got a hat and a cover up, packed my beach bag, and started out the door – it was raining! That means a day off for me after 19 days of building castles. πŸ’• I’ll be on the beach the next sunny day, and hopefully I will see you πŸŒžπŸ’•πŸ°

Castle request by Coco

Yesterday, Coco (about 4) wanted me to build the castle that I painted on my sign❀️
This is castle #17.Β

I came to the beach alone today, but I’m never really alone – there are old and new beach friends here!

Bobbi and her daughter Kristen brought Max and Coco to meet the Sandcastle Lady! It was so nice see them, and talk about today’s sandcastle. I will try to make a castle for Coco tomorrow πŸ’•πŸ°

I taught Ruby last year, and she and her mom came back, and were building today. Their castle was still in process when I took the picture.πŸ°πŸ’•
