Sand Dollar! (Beach Day 4)
pamelamyers | July 22, 2015
Sam and I hadn’t built any real sand castles yet so that was our first order of business. We made a pretty nice one, if I do say so. Simple, but nice.
While Sam was digging in the sand, she found the best treasure — a sand dollar! She was so excited because she always wanted one. You never find those on the beach…I wonder how it got there…I must be her good luck charm, or something…
Sam loved making the moat for her boat yesterday, so Mark helped her dig an even better one. Sam waited. And waited. And waited. The ocean was taking its own sweet time, let me tell you. Slowest high tide I ever saw.
But she was as patient as I have ever seen her.
Eventually, she got a bit bored, and decided to make some stick and seaweed trees for her island.
The ocean finally made it! The boat floated for about a minute then the high tide that was so slow coming whooshed in and completely filled and collapsed her moat. Oh well. It was fun while it lasted!
