Saturday means new families and kids

Unfortunately, we still had all the kids’ castles wiped out last night.

My granddaughter, Susie, and I walked down to the beach after church tonight, and castles were half there (better than gone, yes?)

It was so nice to have our friends from Ottawa back, Mila, Roxanna, and Vera.

Although Vera's language is Russian, she does fine building castles!

Mila has begun English classes in school, and is the oldest of the 4 girls in her family.  Her finished castle is in the photo with my castle.

Susie has turned out to be a perfect sandcastle partner!

So sad to see every castle destroyed, but we re-built (again.)

I’m hoping that the family whose kids were the destroyers will be leaving in the morning.

We had great kids building today – that’s a good thing!

away a day; back on the beach

After going home yesterday, it was good to be back on the beach today, and have lots of kids building castles.

Language barrier? Nyet!

Dimici and Alexandria brought their wonderful family to Lewes from Ottawa.  I met them last year, and although the children’s language is Russian, we got along just fine!

Alex, Logan, and their parents Mike and Erin came back one last time before driving back to Baltimore.

Monday, before the rain

Alex, 13, & his brother, Logan, 9, from Roger’s Forge, Baltimore, MD, created a fantastic fort and castle.

fantastic castle created by Alex today!
had to stop construction, because of weather!

Kids and Castles Sunday, August 11, 2013

2 sisters from Frederica, DE; a friend from Frederica; and 2 cousins – one from Vermont, and one from New York.

Started out together, working on one castle, but decided that 3 castles would be better!

Saturday’s castle

last night, I heard that kids wrecked ALL the castles – and their parents said “Don’t touch those castles…” but the kids wrecked

Gary’s, Logan and Alex’s castle, Henry and his cousins’ castles, and mine.

So I had to start all over again today.

First castle/first day on the beach Thurs Aug 8 2013

it felt so good to begin building a castle – hopefully, that I will build upon for the next month and a half!
Kids from last year came and talked my ear off; another promised he’ll come tomorrow to build; and a Dad, from Oxford – a first timer in Lewes will build tomorrow, as well.
