Sandcastles

Today, I took Sean on a date. I didn't tell him where we were going. I packed some things to use to build sandcastles (the sand toys at the store were too expensive, so we used dishes!) I put everything into a brown paper bag so he wouldn't know. We went to the beach and I dumped it out and told him to imagine it as shovels and castle molds (instead of spatulas, plastic cups and mixing bowls) He laughed at me! It was really fun... our castles were falling apart all over the place and didn't look like much, but the company was good and it was fun trying to build them anyway. We love being so close to the beach!! 


trying to smile without getting sand blown into my eyes!
making shapes in the sand was easier then building castles
It was windy on the beach today!
