Sandcastle Monday

Our usual 'Dad's Monday', this time took us to the beach...

At the beach we decided to build a sandcastle because we had never really built a proper one before...So by dad's commands, we carefully built our best sandcastle ever!

We had two towers,a underpass, and lots of little houses for a wall.

We thought we were finished, but then someoe added two more mini towers.
Actually, we had a lot af finishes, but we were never really finished yet...

THIS IS THE REAL FINISH!! :

The Back

Side

The Front

We had fun, and I hope to make my next sandcastle soon...I already designed it!! :)

Chapter 4 - The Backdoor

Round the back, AJ and Nat found the store. It was already 12: 45 pm. The putu mayam maker was airing the noodles. " Oh, their done making already!" AJ said. The guy saw us standing at the door. He took a wooden tool and gestured them how he had made the noodles.

"OK" AJ said after walking from the store. "Now we know to come earlier next time." They walked over to their bike and unhooked the helmets. AJ passed one of the helmet to Nat. But as AJ was about to put the other helmet on, Nat took it from her. "This is mine" Nat said. " The stinky one!" AJ & Nat giggled then got on the bike.

"Are you hungry?" AJ asked. "Yup! and very hot too!" Nat replied. AJ agreed. " how about some Cendol? that would be very cooling!" " OK" Nat replied and that's how it became a tradition.

Chapter 3 -Searching For The Putu Mayam Maker

"Map!" ordered AJ from the front of the bike. Nat flopped the map into AJ's hand. "Let's see..So we're here and we have t go there and then turn left..." AJ said. " I Hope the store doesn't close before we get there!" "right!" replied Nat. The traffic light turned green. And they were on their way.

"Well, it should be somewhere around here..and the map says to use the backdoor." AJ said as they walked down the road. "Here it is" AJ called awhile later... " but it looks empty!" AJ & Nat stood and thought awhile. Then Nat got the answer..." The backdoor!" Nat exclaimed " let's try the backdoor!" "Oh ya, right. we should have thought of that earlier" said AJ and was off with Nat to the backdoor.

Chapter 2 -Going

"Ugh!" Nat exclaimed, wrinkling her nose." This helmet is so stinky!" AJ chuckled. " I told you! That's why i changed my helmet. I wouldn't want to ride around with a stinky helmet on my head!" said AJ. The weather was hot and AJ & Nat were about to start a new adventure to town. Finally, Nat put on the stinky helmet and they were off to town, leaving Nat's little brother waving goodbye at the doorway of their house.
