Someone came and destroyed castles last night, but I was able to finish building this one, by 5 o’clock.
It is my hope to teach as many kids as I can, to have more creators than destroyers.

I met this family when Vira was just a toddler, and love to see them come to build with me!
Beautiful family, speaking three languages fluently (French, Russian and English.)

Parker 8, mom Stephanie, and Ashlyn 5, from Albany came back to build again! (Parker insisted that I be in the photo!)

The wind changed, and brought a cool onshore wind today. After a late start, and teaching a nice family, I was able to finish a castle by 5:30.

Very hot day on the beach, but I managed to get some of this castle and village done.

So nice to have Sophia and her friend Sofia building today!

Anna 8 and Jack 5, from Delmar, NY teamed up with penpal Piper 6, from Gwynned, PA, and made a great castle

My son Brendan 31, came out of sandcastle retirement and carved this mysterious castle

My castle today

Lots of friends, cousins, son & daughter in law, and a new grandchild on the beach. Had to start from scratch, since we had more castle destroyers.
