Yesterday started with a nice walk on the beach while Brian jogged ahead. That ended with Addie and Ben racing and Addie biting the sand in her dress and being wet. We came back to the house, changed into their new swim shirts and headed out to the beach. On Monday we didn't go to the beach at all, as we were nursing some sun burnt skin.
While Brian and Ben made this massive sandcastle. Seriously the largest I've ever seen someone make. Just before we had to leave it because of the impending storm, I stuck some lollipops in each turret.
We went back out to the beach in the rain (with towels on us!) to watch the tide come in and wipe away this beast. It took over an hour! I videoed the whole experience and then last night cut it into pieces, to give you the full effect. The final product is almost 10 minutes long, but it is a really cool perspective on mother nature and how fierce she is. A really neat thing to experience with the kids and have the conversation about it.

1. The first picture of Addie, where she is wearing sunglasses and standing behind Ben, looks like she's a teenager.
2. The mermaid is very cool.
3. The sandcastle is very neat, and the video of its erosion is very well done.
