Going on a Crab Hunt…

 

Just when I didn’t think we could have anymore fun…Aunt Steph has a brilliant idea.  We’ll wait until it’s dark and go on a crab hunt.

There are tons of these little white sand crabs that come out at night.  They are tiny and hard to see.  And the move like lightning. 

We were armed with nets and flashlights and the kids were so excited they talked about it all day.  As an adult, Tommy wasn’t interested in going.  Once we got down there and he saw what kind of crabs we were talking about and how excited the kids were he got into it too.  He was finding them and catching them with his hands. 

Erin was not scared of them at all and by the end of the trip, she was catching them with her bare hands too.  That’s my brave little girl!

Here’s a video of the build up and then some pictures from the beach.  It really was great!
