Here's the location: Revere Beach! Revere Beach is the nation's first public beach, established in 1896. Around the turn of the century, the boardwalk was lined with shops and even a fairly large amusement park called, Wonderland. Today, Wonderland is a racetrack and there are many shops, but the beach is still miles long, clean, and beautiful.
Ruby, Max, and Jared spent hours building sandcastles. They made some "mud" and kept piling and piling it up. Then we decorated it with shells, bones, and seaweed. We even added a few live mussels and snails. Ruby had mercy on them though and threw them out to sea!
Another view of the castle while their building it. Ruby was ferrying buckets of water to fill a pit where Jared would mix up the "mud".
Guess who LOVED the sand this time!?! He was totally coated in sand from the time we got there and probably ate a fair amount too. It sure was fun having him enjoy it this time!
Ruby always loves the beach and today was no exception. She just didn't want to take time out for Mommy to snap a picture, so we got an action shot.

Jared and Ruby had a great time swimming.

This was the first time we thought to bring our big umbrella and it made ALL the difference. We were able to enjoy the beach for almost four hours--definitely a record breaker for us.
Hope you all have enjoyed your day as much as we have! Tune in tomorrow for Tasty Tuesday...
