My son came home for Thanksgiving. While he was here, he really wanted to go to the beach. I guess there's something about Houston that he misses. So, it was the first thing we did.
One of the best parts about living in Houston is our proximity to the beach. We don't go that often. We really ought to go once a month or more, but we don't. We still love it every time we go, though.
The kids built a great big sand castle. Some of them worked on it intently for the whole time we were there.
The others wandered through the waves with me, grabbing shells for them to decorate their creation with.
We gave them a big old pile of shells, and they stuck them all over their castle.
They dug a moat, and wanted to fill it with water, but each time they brought a little bucket worth and dumped it in, it would soak into the sand before they could get back with another. They were never going to get that moat filled.
I suggested they use the big plastic tub that the sand toys had come to the beach in. They went down to the water, filled it up, and it worked. They managed to get the whole moat filled before the water drained into the sand. Didn't last though. Not even long enough to take a picture.
