Belated Birthday

Emma decided she wanted to celebrate her birthday at the sand castle building contest on White Bear Lake this year. She invited three friends to build with her. Analise decided to have her own team, including her friends Ellie and Emily. Both teams worked hard for the entire time given. Emma's team created a porcupine with tons of quills. Each girl told a fact about porcupines when they presented to the judges. Analise's team built Old Jerusalem. When they presented they talked about all the key places within the city. Emma's team ended up getting 3rd place for the "Creatures" category this year and Analise's team got 1st place for "Castles" category. After the judging, we all walked over to Cup and Cone for some ice cream. We were lucky it was a clear sky day and everyone had an enjoyable time. The girls hope they can get their friends together again at some point this summer.
