Bruder and the Beach.

2010

  1. The beach was the perfect place for Greg to put his Grader to work.
  2. It was also the best place for my dad to join me in building sand castles—something we\'d never done together. Turns out he likes to \"stack.\"
  3. My dad, the master of the \"pinoy squat.\" There\'s my fortress in progress in the foreground.
  4. In no time at all, everything took shape. This was so much fun…and easy too.
  5. My dad\'s stacked castles.
  6. Greg took a break from his grading and sat in the city.
  7. In an effort to guard the sandy city from the incoming tide, I showed Greg how to build a moat with a breakwater. He laughed.
  8. After the tide washed the civilization away, Greg got to work creating a new one of his own.
  9. …extending it far into the horizon, until it was time to go home.

With my folks in town for the week, I took advantage and spent an afternoon with my kid and my dad at Toes Beach, Westchester’s local surf spot which was my second summer home as a kid.

This was truly a memorable event; as simple and mundane as it may have seemed, it was the first time three generations—and three Gregs—of the Narvas clan gathered on the shore. My head tingled when I realized that.

The littlest Greg had a blast with his new Bruder© CAT Grader (which is totally awesome, btw)—the beach sand couldn’t have been a more perfect landscape for him to peruse. In the meantime, the same landscape also served as an immense canvas for my dad and I to build sand castles, using the super-cool Lakeshore Make-A-Castle Sand Molds. Enjoy…oh and also, see if you can spot the Pinoy squat. =)
