Sea Horses and Sand Castles
We couldn't fit the big orange sand pail in the car to bring with us this year. So we bought a couple different ones at CVS on our first day going to the beach. One was a kit that included a pail, shovel, sifter, frisbee, and seahorse and starfish molds. Victoria rather liked the larger molds. She's trying out her hand with the seahorse here.
Turning it over and patting it a couple times to get the sand to loosen up. About to reveal the finished product.
Lifting off the plastic and checking out how the seahorse came out. I didn't think it was too bad. The tail might have been a little crumbly.
It did not pass the Victoria test though. So, there it goes. Knocked down to be done again. The beauty of working in sand.
I'd been working on the rest of the castle for a while. The sand was starting to dry out and sift back down. Still, it was a rather nice castle. Victoria did a good job decorating it with seahorses and starfish in between towers and walls. You can sort of see one of the starfishes in the lower right hand corner of the picture if you squint real hard.
