Is there anything more wonderful than watching cousins build sandcastles together? The last time they did this was last June back in Washington State:

Puget Sound, 2009

Both times they had to build right next to the water.


Watching them, Mike's sister Cathy observed, they always do that. Why do kids do that?


I don't know...but I thought about it, and you know what?


I'm a build-your-sandcastle-next-to-the-water kind of girl too.
