My castle today
Lots of friends, cousins, son & daughter in law, and a new grandchild on the beach. Had to start from scratch, since we had more castle destroyers.

Father Jones, from St. Jude the Apostle, led a small congregation on the public beach in Lewes, and blessed the Bay. 
After teaching kids, I had time to finish my castle today.
The sun came out, and kids came, to build castles!
Kai 4, Lucy 9, and Finn 7, are friends with Skylar 9 – all from Washington, DC.
They worked together all day, making this castle, and others – lots of creative ideas, and great kids to work with.
I finally made a castle today, but look forward to a new one tomorrow.
There was a light breeze from the East today, and lots of kids, wanting to learn how to build castles.
Caroline 10, and Ryan, 7, from Fairfax, VA, worked together, and made a nice castle. They had to hurry and run off the beach, because they were scheduled to go parasailing!
Eleanor 7, and Anna 4 – almost 5, from Columbia, MD, enlisted Elliott’s help (7 yrs old)from Drexel Hill, PA, and made a loveLy castle.
Elliott 7, and his mom Audrey, from Drexel Hill, made the biggest castle on the beach today!
Lots of kids with parents came to visit me today on the beach. One of my visitors was a former sandcastle kid, now grown up, and a successful man. It’s so good to see these kids grown up!
Here’s my castle today –
It was a nice day today, with a small breeze out of the East. I had the company of Elliot, an intelligent 7 year old friend from a great family I met on the beach. He kept up a good chat about the pyramids, lego land, ninjago, and lots of topics.
I had to start from scratch, since there was no sign of yesterday’s castle or mound. I wrapped an alligator around the bottom (I haven’t made one in a long while!)
