Playing in the Gulf
Going to Grandma’s house is almost a given every summer. At least, in the kids’ eyes. It’s not a matter of “if,” but “when”. A definite highlight is going to the beach. Another highlight is getting to go to the beach again.
I forgot to bring my camera the first time we went on an extremely sunny day, but remembered to bring it today and it was overcast. In fact, it was raining on us by the time we left. We were out in the water when it started to rain and Grandma said to the boys, “Oh, no, we might get wet!” They just laughed. She’s a funny gal.
One of my favorite things to do at Grandma’s beach is make dribble castles. The sand is so fine that you can dig a hole, fill it with water (or let the waves do it for you), grab a handful of wet sand, and dribble it in a pile. I like to make bridges between two spires and make a bunch so the king and queen have plenty of places to cross. What can I say? It sparks my imagination and I’m a kid again.
I was way too excited about my creation and took pictures of it before it could get destroyed (either by natural disaster or the toddler).
Hope y’all are having a great summer!

Beautiful photos I used to love making drip castles with my sister they always look more fitting for a passing mer-creature than the bucket version.
Nice shots, even with the cloudy day. Great memories, and kudos to the Dribble Castle Queen.
I agree, Sarah. And, thanks. I only just found your comment today. I’ve neglected my blog too long and the spam comments were piled high.
Great memories, indeed! Thanks for everything, Mama’.
