Crab Hunting SOLMC#23

Crab Hunting!!!

“Come on guys! Lets go, come on!!”

I urged my mom, my brother, and my aunt to come outside.

“Lets go crab hunting!” I said

My cousins were asleep so we couldn’t be too loud. We grabbed pails and shovels and set out onto the white beaches of Destin FL. Searching with our flashlights for the little crabs.

“There!” said Samar.

We trapped the crab and put it along with a little bit of sand into the bucket. We marveled at it for a little then set out to find more.

Soon we had many tiny crabs scuttling in the pails. We heard screams from farther off of people who had found the big ones. But so far we hadn’t found any.

The next night we set out with my 7 and 5 year old cousins and my aunt. As we came out of out house and onto the beach we saw a huge crab, and I mean huge! We scooped it up and put it into one of the buckets. Soon we became afraid of the giant so we let him out. As he scuttled out of the bucket, he went up onto his back legs and stood there with his pincers in the air. We backed up and took a couple of photos. Then we bolted. Running. Scared.

Here he is. We freaked out a little. :)

He stayed there and we ran so we didn’t see him again.
