The new castle, with Airik’s and my castle from yesterday in the background.

After building his first castle on September 10, Airik came back and built another castle, and it was amazing! I think he is hooked!

On Monday, as I was starting to build my castle, a young man came over. He said, “I’ve been trying to build sandcastles all my life – what is your secret?” I stopped what I was doing, and shared all that I know with him, and he built an amazing Egyptian Lion Sphinx. I love teaching big kids (he is 34!)

Sunday, September 10, I built a castle for my 71st birthday. I hope I’m still able to build 20 years from now.

After a trip home to Pennsylvania, I got back on the beach on Saturday, September 9, and built the first castle in over a week. It felt good to be back!

The rain and wind were ramping up, when we saw the Channel 10 Storm Ranger truck, with its radar on top, Channel 10 van and car in the public beach parking lot.

I have to go home (to Village Green, Pennsylvania) on Wednesday or Thursday, but will be back on the beach Monday (Labor Day – if there’s a shoe horn to let me in!) or probaby Tuesday, when the crowds lessen! Hope to see you on the beach! I will be here until September 20.

I’m going home to see my #2 child, Michelle, and #4 grandchild, Riley, who moved to Austin, Texas. They have reservations to fly out of Houston this Thursday (if the flooding allows them to get out!)
We’ll take them back to the airport on Sunday, and hope to drive back down to Lewes on Monday.

Here is 6 year old Isaac, from Forest Hills, Maryland, and his ever changing castle

Tyler 3 1/2, with his dad Rob, mom Vivienne, and sister Sophia 5, from Columbia, MD, were still working on this castle when I left the beach today.

Although it was really windy, I enjoyed building this castle today.

I love that the 4:30 ferry just came into the frame as I took my photo.
