Sandcastle building is an essential part of the beach experience. I’ve learned the hard way that in order to build a decent sandcastle you have to have the right tools. We bought two pails with shovels at Public, along with two perfect molds.
Their castle came complete with shell topped towers and a moat!
My dad laid out the design, but Caden was a tireless worker. She kept at it all day long. They mostly finished this in 30 minutes or so, but she kept adding and enhancing the rest of the day.
Caden worked so hard on the moat. She was constantly trying to get it deeper and get it to hold water.
The plan was to stay at the beach for two hours, and then head back in for a nap. But, the day was absolutely beautiful. The sun was out, it was warm but not so warm anyone was melting. We were having such a great time, and I knew it was probably our only gorgeous day, so I just couldn’t justify making the girls leave.
It was worth it. I definitely paid the price, but we had an amazing day, and built an amazing sandcastle!








looks like a lot of fun!
