Here Crabby Crabby Crabby!!!

One of the best beach activities is hunting little sand crabs.  They are very active in the morning and evening.  The crabs dig holes all over the beach and scurry around.  The kids became pretty good hunters last summer and were excited to try it again.

 
 It is important to have a game plan when crab hunting.

 
 Brooks and Brynn had to show Granny Lerion the ropes.  One of the most important parts is calling the crabs.  Brooks and Brynn use the Here Crabby Crabby Crabby call.

 
 Sometimes you have to get down to capture the elusive crabs.

 
Here is one that had been captured. Most of them were very small, however there were some much bigger ones.

 
 We all had flash lights and head lamps to help spot the crabs at night.  This is what we looked like from the beach house.  You can see all of the lights as we hunted for the crabs.  The entire group had a lot of success hunting for them.  It was a lot of fun and something that happened every night.
