Some days are just meant for building castles by the sea. The small people recently found themselves with two such days, back to back. Here\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s what they did.<\/p>\n

Day One:<\/p>\n

The name of this day\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s game was to build the castles as close to the water as possible.<\/p>\n

\"100_7970\"<\/a>\"100_7978\"<\/a>\"100_7976\"<\/a>The tide charts were not consulted prior to construction,<\/p>\n

\"100_7974\"<\/a>thus requiring the ever-futile but highly entertaining tidal dance.<\/p>\n

\"100_7982\"<\/a>Day Two:<\/p>\n

\"100_8010\"<\/a>The small people built larger the second day, deciding they wanted to rule from inside their castle via their misshapen sand thrones.<\/p>\n

\"100_8016\"<\/a>And so they sat enthroned, two princes and a princess, ruling over their small corner of the beach for one brief shining moment.<\/p>\n

The monarchy\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s shine reached its apex toward the end of the afternoon, however, when the younger prince (doing double-duty as court jester) faked an emergency, just to get his mother the queen all riled up.<\/p>\n

\"100_7994\"<\/a>Folks, you can be sure of two things. First, the hole was not as deep as he wanted it to appear.<\/p>\n

\"100_7998\"<\/a>And second, the prince\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s timeout as punishment for the aforementioned offense was entirely ineffective.<\/p>\n
