Fact: If you dig a hole on the beach, children will flock to it.
I don't know what it is about holes on the beach, but they really do attract children likes moths to a flame. We have experienced this as the diggers of the hole in the past. But today we experienced this from the other perspective. Another group on the beach had dug a very large hole that our children could not help but investigate. The Boy excitedly came and told me "Mommy, those people dug a big hole and they are letting us play in it!!" Not only did these people let our children play in the fantastic hole (which was the biggest hole I have ever seen), they also helped them add details to this hole. They made chairs, stairs, and a sofa, a bathroom (don't ask the obvious question), a television - this was no ordinary hole on the beach. This occupied quite possibly, hours of their time on the beach and part of that time was spent sitting on the "chairs" or laying on the "sofa". The things that amuse kids sometimes amaze me.
