We decided to have a Field Trip to St. Joe's Island. (About 1 1/2 hours away)
We needed nets for catching hermit crabs.
After a stop at Target, in which we found NO nets; we purchased Nick and Nora jammie pants, a straw hat, dive shirts, swim shoes and goldfish crackers. (You would think we didn't pack to come to the beach)
We went to a Dollar store. No nets, but we found buckets and shovels and a really cute straw hat for Curls.
Walmart was a success! 2 Barbie nets, 3 Cars nets and 2 REAL crab nets later, we were on our way. 1 1/2 hours down the road.
The crab hunting was a success! Fun was had by all...
Showing off the spoils of the expedition...
The race back to the sea...
They caught about 100 crabs! It was so very exciting...
until...
the ride home.
1 1/2 hours to the crabs, meant 1 1/2 hours home. Sandy. Tired. Hungry.
McDonald's drive thru dinner was the only answer.
ETA- Visit the Lawyer's Wife to see what WE ate. And it was closer to 100 crabs, there were 27 in one bucket alone!
