Papina gave Alice an apologetic look and said, "Nice to meet you as well, and thank you," before Maggie took her hand and dragged her off again. "So what kind of sand castle do we wnat to build first?" she asked Maggie. A quick check at the phone showed that she still had plenty of time before the next call.

Maggie thought about it as they walked over to the sand and she sat down in a patch that looked good for sandcastle building.
"Hmm....a dollhouse?" she asked tentatively, looking at Papina for approval

Papina was about to point out that a dollhouse wasn't exactly a castle when she saw Maggie look at her for approval. "Well," she began nervously, "Do you think we could build one?" She'd never built a dollhouse out of sand. This would be an interesting experiance.

"I don't know?" Maggie shrugged, but didn't seem terribly bothered by the idea that they might not be able to do it. Instead she reached for the bucket and a shovel and started dumping sand into the bucket.

Papina blinked at that, but picked up the other shovel and started to scoop sand into the bucket too. Might as well. It could always end up as a sandcastle anyways...

When the bucket was full, Maggie pressed down on the top for a minute, trying to pack the sand together, like she had when she was at the beach. When she tipped it over to let the formed "tower" out, she was perplexed to discover that the sand hadn't stuck together and was now more of a hill than a tower.
"What happened?" she asked looking at Papina, clearly confused.

Papina blinked. She'd never been to a beach before, so she didn't know what was wrong either. "I dunno..." She murmured. "Maybe we need something to make it sticky so it sticks together?" She didn't think her mom would let her use glue... Maybe water would work?

"Like what?" Maggie asked curiously. Water didn't occur to her at all, as she didn't even remotely associate it with anything sticky.

"Maybe... water?" Papina offered. It was the only wet thing they could easily get at the moment. Speaking of, water sounded pretty good now. She could use a drink...
