house of nuts

@kim yerim helps to hollow out a circle around the castle in making a moat, digging my nails into the sand. goes over to the tide and lets the bucket sink in to grab some water before making my way back over to the castle
here's some water! maybe we can put some sea creatures in the moat too
lets the water spill into the hollowed ring around the castle, watching it pool up with water before quickly running over to the tide again to get more.
it looks great so far yeri! we're doing good.

@mark tuan Omo yes then the little mermaids can have a garden! YAY bridge time~ *smiles happily and starts digging.* Neh papa nut we can have one, otherwise this castle is too easy for people to get into.
I'm almost done with my side of the tunnel papa. *crawls over to your side and digs there too so it goes through, continuing to dig right round and make a moat. *
all done papa! We can put water in there now~

@kim yerim of course! nut kingdom. how about we get little trees to put around the castle as well?
grabs some sticks that lay across the expanse of the beach, bringing some over to the castle
cool! a bridge sounds neat. lets make a moat too, so we have some water protecting the castle
pats down some sand in the front of the castle, making a sturdy, long object that represents the outline of a drawbridge before grabbing the bucket to go get some water

@mark tuan *Draws out some windows on the castle with a stick i found*
umm can we call it the nut kingdom? that way when we want we can come and live inside of it!
*places the sea weed on top of the castle and some pretty shells too for chairs*
Papa nut let's make a bridge for the castle too!

@kim yerim ok sounds good! i can grab more sea shells for you
goes over near the edge of the tide and parts of the sand to find different sized sea shells, all varying in texture before setting them down next to you
what do you want to name the castle? a mighty castle like this deserves a whole kingdom!
helps you shape out parts of the castle with the tools we have

@mark tuan Yes papa you go get the seaweed, me and mama will make the castle nice and toll!
*Helps mama make the castle into a big one, patting down the edges so it's solid and wont fall*
nehhhh! it can have a roof top garden! and that's where the little mermaid can go to brush her hair!
I'll make a door!
*runs away and finds a big shell before returning and sticking it down the bottom of the castle

@kim yerim okay sounds good! i will grab the seaweed then!
goes over to the tide, finding seaweed that was washed up and bringing some little pieces over.
this works for good decoration yes? maybe it should go on the top

@mark tuan Mama and i wanna make a really big one! and i want to put seaweed on it too papa!
*grabs out my bucket and fills it up with sand for the castle

@kim chungha *smiles widely as mama comes over and sits near me*
Can we put seaweed and shells on it too mama?

@kim yerim carries the towel and umbrella in the cradle of my arms, letting it sit next to our designated spot. runs toward the sand with you.
lets do this! what kind of sandcastle would you like? big? small?

@kim yerim carries our bags and sets up a resting spot for us, adjusting both the umbrella and the towel.
alright! all of our stuff will be placed here.
scurries over to sit beside you.
let’s build the biggest sand castle!

@mark tuan @kim chungha BEach time~ *squeals happily and runs onto the sand*
Let's build a sand castle mama and papa!

*drags my bed out of my room and plops it into the bath tub*
Time to have an under the sea adventure
