I met 2 families from Washington, DC this morning, who built castles. Maia and Arya, are friends, both 5 1/2, and built a castle together. Their dads worked hard, keeping the younger sisters Trudi 3, and Sioleen 2 1/2 busy with a castle of their own.

The next new castle builder was from Roaring Spring,PA. Sophia is 9 1/2,
And did very well with her castle.

Mason is 6, and he and his dad worked together on their castle. They live in Vestal, NY.

It was great weather today, building my castle.

Caleb and Kristine, 8 year old twins, worked with their brother, Davey, 5 years old, and made a great castle. They are from Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

Here’s my castle today, but I just got the bad news that it was destroyed before sunset tonight.
I am going home tomorrow, and won’t build tomorrow, but will be back Tuesday, and hopefully will build again.

Jeremy built a great castle in record time! His mom said they had to leave in 20 minutes, and he wasted no time! He’s 12, and lives in Port Tobacco, Maryland.

Amelia built her first castle today. She’s 8, lives in Lewes, and was here with her Grandma Sue, who is from Greenfield, Massachusetts.

Even though thunder chased me (and everyone else, I did get to meet a girl I taught last year. Ashley 11, was with her mom, and brought her friend, Scarlett, also 11. They were really trying to get a castle built in between threatening storms!
I also met 3 friends from Pennsylvania only here for the weekend. Kira, Tabitha, and one more friend whom i didn’t get a chance to meet. Beautiful, personable girls, who were fun to talk with- I only wish the weather would have cooperated!

I know how to build castles, but not how to make these pictures behave.
Here are new friends Max and his Aunt Janice, with my castle today.
