Very fun and very good at the Silly face shot:

What a great family. The girls could stack and carve very well. OH Dad too!

Great Lessons Today

First lesson of the day. Great family fun. The young girl on the left made a Rapunzel tower, complete with Rapunzel's hair trailing out of the window. Really great family! Thanks for the fun morning.

Second lesson at the Port Royal Condominiums was a blast! Wanted to stay all day with these people. Check out the other posts for today and you will see why. They added a whole village to this castle after I left. Don't think they will go back to building sandcastles the way they use to.

Great ta dah shot:

Last castle of the day at La Mirage. Two towers got knocked down before the picture. The girl was very artistic and the oldest boy very talented with the bell towers.

Thanks for the great lesson.

Let Them Build Castles

This group had a first lesson last year. Sandcastle at the Sanndcastle condominiums. I really enjoy playing in the sand with this group very creative. Not afraid to push the limits of sand. Hope I see more of their work tomorrow.

Great family. This castle was built on the beach at Port Royal Condominiums.
Ready for a Castle.
