Cecilia, 4, sitting in front of her castle

Cecilia is the youngest in a family of four children.  She has an older sister, and two older brothers.  She is very quiet (which is different from her siblings that I know!)  She very quietly built her castle, and then quietly went back to her dad, when she finished.

Another late in the day castle, sitting with Charlie and Case

This castle of mine wasn’t started until after 3 o’clock, because I choose to spend time teaching and helping kids first.  Charlie 5, from Frederica, DE and Case 6, from Magnolia, DE sat with me, and could barely wait till I said, “Yes, you can help me by making some trees.”   My husband, Jack, took the picture.

Cassie and Shannon's house in a woodland forest

Shannon and Cassie worked hard, making a forest of trees, with a small house in the middle of the woods.  Their trees are made with one of my large funnels, using sand and a lot of water.

Annie and Maggie, building together

Annie is 10, from Wilmington, and Lewes, DE.  Her cousin, Maggie is also 10, and came to Lewes from Medfield, Massachusetts.  Together they built a good castle.
