A returning sandcastle buddy – Mika!
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.

Wonderful children from ALL over!
On my first couple of days on the Market Street Beach, I have had the pleasure of meeting and teaching some wonderful children from ALL over!
Unfortunately, my camera wasn’t working the first day, to capture:
Hanna, 7 and her brother Sebastian, 4, from Switzerland
Sylvan, 6 1/2, and his sister Elena, 3 1/2, from Eugene, Oregon. (Sylvan said they flew AND drove here!)
These 4 children above are visiting their (very young and vibrant!) great grandparents, Dottie and Sam Foster
I also taught 4 school friends: Anna, Emma, Alexa, and Avery – all 8 (Emma is the oldest, turning 9 soon) from Baltimore, MD
Marley, 6 1/2, with her castle

I’m counting the days till August and September
When I leave the beach in the fall, it seems like an eternity till I get back in August. I am planning to get there late in the day, on August 1.
It takes awhile to unpack, and get my 3 little birds situated in their cage, dig out all the buckets, shovels, and molds – but I’ll be there!
I hope to see you there!
Packing up, to leave the beach –
It’s always sad to gather up all my sand tools and molds, and store them away until next summer. But the weather has made it easy for me to leave – it’s downright chilly! Rain and wind came along this past Thursday, and it hasn’t gotten any better since!
I will probably check in here every now and then, and let you know what I’m up to!
I’d love to keep in touch with all of you – send me a note <3
