Sandblast!

Last Saturday we had a break in the rain and decided to head out to Crane's Beach in Ipswich for their annual sand sculpture competition. Although it was a bit tricky finding the beach, we were so happy that we took the time to come out. To learn more about this beautiful estate click here!

I hope you'll enjoy a few pictures from our day!

This was our first view of the beach as we climbed up over the dunes. I had hoped to get another picture, but unfortunately I was low on camera battery from the very start of the day.

Max, as you may remember, doesn't like to touch the sand or water, so he enjoyed wearing Ruby's shades and just relaxing in his camp chair. He kept spotting kites or other kids running by and would point and say, "Oh, wow!". It was pretty cute.

Ruby and Daddy had a great time swimming in the ocean and playing in the sand. Max would get upset if he couldn't see "Bah-bee" (Ruby) or Daddy. He thought it was pretty fun to see them having a good time even if he wasn't interested in joining in!

We were camped out next to the Masters category and got to see them working on this car for the last few hours of the competition. The theme of the competition seemed to be environmental conservation, recycling, etc. The unpublished theme seemed to be Batman though!

Here's a sculpture that I think was supposed to be an electric car. One of the few that wasn't Batman or super hero related.

We have discovered that there are so many beautiful spots in New England. We're looking forward to the autumn for all the beautiful colors, but for now we'll just be thankful for a day at the beach!
