Today our son and his wife and the twins spent the day at the beach.
The weather is a bit warmer, not hot by any stretch of the imagination, but nicer than it has been. The sun was shining and the breeze wasn't as strong as it had been.
Just a nice day to play outside, or build a sandcastle together with your best friend, Sissy.
That is what Harper and Willow spent part of the afternoon doing. Harper just loves to play in the sand, so the beach, with its limitless amounts of sand, is superior to their little sandbox at home.
When did you last build a sandcastle?

I can see the size difference you were talking about in that picture.

@wolfgirl569 Thanks, they have such sweet personalities too, not just looks.

@Juliaacv They are doing well. I remember my dad zipping my coat up when I was 6 or 7, I think he just worried about us out in the cold weather. I am sure I could have zipped it. I could tie my shoes.

Yes, they are growing up, they start Jr. Kindergarten in September already.
They can unpack their own lunch pails take out the food, set it up and eat it and repack the container back into the lunch pail. They can do up their own zippers, buttons and snaps on their coats, open and close their own umbrellas, and take their shoes off and keep them together rand put them back on again. I hope that come boot weather they are just as good at that.
The teachers cannot help the students with any of that.

@snowy22315 The girls can tie shoes, but they only have buckle shoes, crocs or velcros.

My last sandcastle I built was around 2008 while on vacation in Florida with my relatives.

The last time I was at a beach was last year I think but nos sandcastle. The water was too enticing not to jump into it. So we all did spend our time swimming rather than playing in the sand.
The twins look lovely.

What gorgeous little girls. There is certainly a height difference. It's been a long time since I built a sandcastle.
