Cassie has been building this week, and tried her first curving staircase today, with success! She is 10 years old, from Magnolia, DE, and friends with the Troutman girls, from Frederica, DE.

Building in August & September on the Massachusetts Street beach, in Lewes, Delaware
I went to the beach rather late (2pm) and nimbus cumulous clouds started forming. I gave some lessons to a family from Baltimore, and started my structure (had to start over, because of the castle destruction last night.) I keep hoping if I keep teaching, that I will be making more creators than there are destroyers. (I like to think positive!)
I hope to get to the beach earlier tomorrow! (Hope springs eternal.)
Kate (8 years old) built a castle before I had to leave the beach today. (Thunder and threatening sky.) Her sister Amelia, 13, was still in the process of building, as was her cousin, Kyle, 11, and his brother Blake. I hope they got a good castle in today! (And hope it will stay standing tomorrow – we had major destruction here last night
.)
Alex 12, Logan 8, and their Dad, Mike, a high school teacher in Carroll County, MD, were waiting for me when I got to the beach at 2pm. They had been wanting to find out all the ‘secrets’ of sandcastle building. I showed them everything I knew (in about 5 minutes!) And they took that information, and built a great castle. You can see Alex and Logan’s mom with a sandcastle mold in the photo, with Logan and his neighboring kingdom behind Alex’s castle. I look forward to seeing this family build more!!
