Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 150

Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 152
2010-01-28 T&C: He was fascinated by the way it scooped and fell
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 153
2010-01-28 T&C: Somehow, he was *so* fascinated, he didn't realize the sand was on his towel
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 154
2010-01-28 T&C: And then he noticed.
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 155
2010-01-28 T&C: "Ahh! My towel! My pristine towel!"
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 156
2010-01-28 T&C: We shook it off and he started again
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 157
2010-01-28 T&C: But then he was so interested in what big sister was doing, he started to stray off the towel
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 158
2010-01-28 T&C: This is when we tried to help him sit on the plain sand. Not. A. Fan.
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 159
2010-01-28 T&C: With a little help from Daddy, he was distracted from the lack of towel
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 160
2010-01-28 T&C: And then Pop-pop began a true lesson in sandcastle building
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 161
2010-01-28 T&C: Then again, you'd be wary of us after this treatment, too.
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 162

Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 163

Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 170
2010-01-28 T&C: Dave decided to teach her how to withstand the approach of salt water
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 171

2010-01-28 T&C: And then it was Toph's turn, which he thought was cool at first
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 182
2010-01-28 T&C: And then we came near the waterfall
Turks & Caicos, January 2010, 183
2010-01-28 T&C: And I utterly failed at steering. Oops.
