Lots of Crabs….a family tradition.

One of our favorite things we do at the beach is ghost crab hunting at night.  Well, my husband and the kids do this while I anxiously await to see the night’s catch.  I think we could be on the show “The Deadliest Catch” and rival even the best episodes.

Standing on the deck of our house you can see their head lamps bobbing up and down as the crab hunters make their way across the sand in the dark of the night hunting unsuspecting crabs.  Thus far my husband has been the one who actually picks them up to place them in the bucket after they’re netted.  And he has the battle wounds to prove it!

While this family tradition has gone on for years now I think a new one began this year.  I’m beginning to wonder if the whole family is going a little crabby!

Somehow baby girl found a pink crab attached to her face…..YIKES!

This one was captured by my mom as two unsuspecting crabs passed by….

Makes a girl wonder~
