Jamie 6, and Damian 2 (but says he is 6) were good students, and built a castle together. They were in Lewes visiting their grandmother who came here from Baltimore and rented a house for their dad, uncle and cousins.
Castles that inspired, in Ireland
One of the many castles in Ireland – so ancient, and beautiful.
First and second castle of the summer, and first kids <3
I am so happy to be back on the beach, and meeting and teaching kids.

I can’t wait to build sandcastles!
I am packing up, getting ready to come to the beach on Monday, July 31. I hope to get on the beach by Tuesday – see you there!
Ireland’s castles will be inspirational
I will be in Ireland this Saturday, til July 23, and know the castles there will be an inspiration for sandcastles.
I’ll be back on the beach August 1 – September 18 – can’t wait ?
Cool refreshing wind onshore Sunday <3
When I turned the corner onto Market Street, the North wind was strong and I was very happy to feel it! Friday and Saturday were extremely hot and humid, and the SouthWest wind had ushered in biting flies. I got to the beach late (1pm) but stayed till 6 o’clock, and finished the day’s castle!
People ask me which castle is my favorite – and my answer is usually, “Today’s.”
One of my old favorite families were back on the beach
I hadn’t been on the beach long, before I heard, “Sandcastle Lady, you’re still here!” It was Katie – one of my favorite kids (and yes, I do have a bunch of favorites!) She and her mom Adrei, were here with her mom’s friends, just for the day.
I got a ‘special delivery’ birthday present on the dune path, on my way home, from one of her mom’s friends <3 I love this beach!
Saturday, and a new family on the beach
There was a new family on the beach, whose children had a gazillion questions about building sandcastles. I think I answered all that I possibly could, and showed them everything I know (in about 5 minutes.) They borrowed my bag of molds and buckets, and made a wonderful castle!
Cocoa 10, Shreya almost 11, Jack 8, and Noah 7, from Washington DC built their castle after I coached them on everything I knew <3
Despite a bit more talking than usual, and teaching kids, I did manage to build a castle of my own today.
Quiet on the hot and humid beach today
Adreah 5 and her sister, Alayna 7, sat and watched a sandcastle lesson, with their mom, Bonita, and then went up the beach, to build a sweet castle!
Adreah and Alayna’s castle <3
Here’s my castle today. I hope to build some more levels tomorrow!
I ran out of energy after 4 hours in the heat and humidity today. I hope I can add a village tomorrow.
