Back to the beach! First kids’ castles since Irene

Although I didn’t get down to our beach till 4pm, kids were ready to build castles! Some of them remembered me from last year.
Building in August & September on the Massachusetts Street beach, in Lewes, Delaware
Although I didn’t get down to our beach till 4pm, kids were ready to build castles! Some of them remembered me from last year.
Delaware’s Governor Markham issued a mandatory evacuation last night, and I packed all the buckets, molds, shovels and paraphenalia up from the dunes on the beach – I’ll be back building on Monday, August 29th (God willing, and the bay and canal don’t rise again.) Hoping we don’t lose power, and Hurricane Irene doesn’t damage our beach or cottage!
Thunder on the beach Thursday (Aug 25) put a stop to my plans to build ( I did have time to teach 2 great kids from Media, PA – Sydney and her brother, Quin, but the thunder chased us before I could get the picture of their castle with them.)
Met and taught a great family from Alexandria with 2 boys: Gavin (5) and Trevor (2 1/2); also met 2 cousins who got together here in Lewes – one from Herndon, VA; the other from Boyerstown, PA. And also had a great niece, Katie (6 1/2) from Phoenixville, PA and a granddaughter, Sofia (7) from West Chester, PA
