Building in August & September on the Massachusetts Street beach, in Lewes, Delaware
Author: Lynn McKeown
I started building sandcastles and sand animals with my kids when they were young. They outgrew it, but I didn't. I paint murals, and do the scenic art for theatre sets for our local high school.
Today I spent a lot of time teaching, helping, and talking (not necessarily in that order! I didn’t start carving my castle until after 3 o’clock! (But better late than never!)

2 Dads and a mom from Rockville, MD – plus 3 kids and their creation –
2 family creation - castle or cake/ you decide!
a tiered decorated cake (or was it a castle?) Great imagination and result! Dad Ricardo, mom, plus Michael 11, worked with Noah 10, and Sienna (6) and their Dad.
Kyle is 11, and his brother Blake is 8, from Great Meadows, NJ. Their cousins Kate 9, and Amelia 13, flew in from Austin, TX. The four of them built a big castle together today, and entertained their grandparents and mom.
Laney 7, and Rachel 8, are neighbors in Frederica, DE. It’s great to watch friends building castles together. Their castle incorporated buildings, towers, stairs, and village houses.

Finn, 7, is from Washington DC; River is 6, from Falls Church, VA; and Sarah, turning 10 on September 16 – is from Kildare, Ireland. These three built a great castle together today – and worked wonderfully as a team.
