There were a lot more people on the beach today. It was cloudy, but the 
Back on the beach/onshore breeze
The onshore breeze was really brisk today, bringing the tide way up at high tide. No need to dig a moat if you build at the high tide line – the water will surround the castle when the tide comes in.
The ferry passengers had a rough ride today, I’m sure. Love to see it coming and going across.
Seems like kids are back to school; bit quieter on the beach
Went home to PA yesterday; back today
It’s not easy to get a base of sand up from scratch, but I was able to make a small castle today, after being away for a day.
Cloudy and Windy Friday with a bit of drizzle
Great groups of kids making castles today.
[Angelina – 9, and Lucy – 4 3/4, from Northport, NY; Adrienne – 9, and Bridget – 4, from Gaithersburg,MD; and Grace – 4 1/2, from Sykesville, MD – worked together, and made a Castle Kingdom, with churches and graveyards and a whole town.] [Riley – 7, Adrienne – 9, Bridget – 4, and their mom, Ann, from Gaithersburg, MD, worked with Angelina – 9, from Northport, NY – on a great group castle.]
Started from scratch on my castle, as yesterday’s castle was taken by invading hordes. So I moved a bit further down the beach. It’s just so difficult to prepare the mound of sand, and then have to start over.
Rain/sun/rain/sun – hurry to the beach!
And better late than never! Riley was back, to help me make some trees on my castle.
Sydney 11 was back, with friends Erin – 10, and Ashley, all from Media to build a castle together.
My castle, on Thursday – a late castle, but finished!
Even though the wind changed, good day on the beach
Me, Mica, and my cousin Marian Laxton Ardinger and one of her grandchildren, Jayden, helped finish my castle today! Had a good visit from my Aunt Dorothy Laxton, Jill Laxton, Marian Laxton, and grandchildren Hayden, Jaden, and Skylar; niece Kylie, too!
Liam – almost 6, and Luke – 4, on mom Lindsay’s lap – beautiful family from Middletown, DE
Juan Pablo – 11, and Gabriel – 10, from Wilmington. 
Tuesday and sunshine
Two great kids from Media, Sydney and Quinn – worked with two younger boys Liam and Luke, from Middletown, DE.My grandson, Riley – turning 4 on Sunday is here for a few days! 
Back on the beach today (after a rain day)
Two of my favorite people on the beach today!! Dottie Foster <3 and Mica <3
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.
