We often visit a tiny beach here in Noank, CT. It is very small, and visited throughout the day by locals wanting a quiet spot for lunch, or by kids who want to do a little crabbing.
Yesterday we went over with a large bucket, some hot dogs (no chicken to be found) some string and a large net.
While Golden Boy was enjoying the crabbing adventure with his cousin and friend, his sisters were desperately trying to catch some rays on the grassy knoll beside the small beach.
There were two small children romping on the small beach, all the while watching the boys catching crab after crab. ( And when I say crab, I mean TINY CREATURE that might ONE day be a crab...)
One little boy exclaimed, "Look Mom!! A Herman crab!"
I felt like I was back in kindergarten...and I smiled.
I thought you were going to say something about the kids getting..
ReplyDeletecrabs.
Did the girls on the grassy knoll see who shot Kennedy?
ReplyDeletesay in a sing-songy voice: "Hey, hey we're the munsters...people think we are just crabin' around..." what ever the rest of the words are.
ReplyDeletePale Rider and I are going crabbing next week...that is if we don't all burn to death from the heat wave first.
Funny, I thought those things came from a kiosk at the mall?
ReplyDeleteHmmm, learn something new every day...
-->I'm glad that's the only crabs your kids were catching. ha!

Cuteness just follows you everywhere!Enjoy the beach!
ReplyDeleteYou can hear kids from far ass away, you have a super power! lol
ReplyDeleteSounds like you're having a wonderful time. I'm happy for you. :-)
ReplyDeleteA Herman Munster crab? Now THAT would be something.
ReplyDeleteLOL..thats too cute! I wish we had a tiny beach near our home with a grassy knoll-enjoy your summer
ReplyDeleteAll I can picture now is Herman Munster as a crab!
ReplyDeleteI wanna be at the beach, catching Herman crabs!
ReplyDeleteI am glad you got a button now I can push it all the time ;)
ReplyDeleteThey were tiny, so they weren't Munster crabs, were they?
ReplyDeleteCatching crabs is the best!
ReplyDeleteRun Herman, run...
Too funny!
ReplyDeleteHey....crabs get to have names, too! ;)
ReplyDeleteHave fun with your family!
Herman isn't a crab, he is a Munster!
ReplyDeleteI won't go into the only kind of crabs you could catch in Michigan...
ReplyDeleteI can see the back to school essay now........
ReplyDelete"What I did on my summer vacation."
"I got the crabs."
OK, I accidentally read "Who let the carbs out" cause that's what I'd really like to know. Anyway, you're like a magnet that attracts the cutest sayings. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYou didn't think all crabs had names like Snappy, did you? They have people names, too.
ReplyDeleteI know Herman! And his wife, Boiled.
ReplyDeleteAw, Herman crabs.
ReplyDeleteAwww...that made me smile. I *heart* kids.
ReplyDeletehahah!! My son just happens to be into that song nowadays...don't know who HE's talking about!!!
ReplyDeletequick, hit the drugstore for crab medication ;) lol
ReplyDeleteA herman crab!!! That's hilarious...I love it.
ReplyDelete: )
ReplyDeleteThose Herman Crabs are so lonely.
ReplyDeleteAwe I love Herman. . . . crabs! I am intrigued that they never leave home without their house. . . until they do!
ReplyDeleteOh how sweet. I love herman crabs too. And blue crabs. Just not crabs in the pants. LOL
ReplyDeleteI bought a Herman crab in the mail when I was a kid. When I opened the box, he pinched the shit out of me. He lived for several years and was always a grumpy little thing.
ReplyDeleteAww you miss them dont you, small kids not crabs I mean...
ReplyDeleteAnd that means a she-crab is called Lily?
ReplyDeleteOkay, I'll just 'splain that obscure reference,
Herman and Lily Munster.
Come on, you knew that didn't you?
And PS, you're in Connecticut and did not call me? Purely an oversight, I'm sure!
ReplyDeleteDo crabs go for hot dogs? We've only used chicken.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed, we might see the sun tomorrow!
What do the boys do with the crabs once they catch 'em?
ReplyDeleteI love when kids do that. One kid said to me about my dog...I sure so like your golden achiever.
ReplyDeleteI had a pet crab named Herman!
ReplyDeleteYou're like a magnet for cute things that kids say. The Art Linkletter of blogland.
ReplyDeleteIs that Herman crab married to a Lily crab, with an Eddie crab son?
ReplyDeleteTotally adorable!!
ReplyDeleteI knew a girl in college who caught Her man's crabs. Not cute.
ReplyDeleteOh, crabbing! I haven't done that since I was little. I do love hunting for "Herman" crabs, though!
ReplyDeleteBummer, I don't think the sun is really going to come out until after you've gone home :(
ReplyDeleteI would've totally paid attention to the story had my eyes not been drawn to the hotness that is the shirtless man in the picture.
ReplyDeleteExcept if that's golden boy, which would make me kind of a creep.
...
Meh *shrugs. I don't really care, who is he?! LOL
My girls so want a crab as a pet.
ReplyDeleteSomehow I don't think a crab really constitutes a "pet". Although if one calls it Herman, then maybe you feel more emotionally connected. LMAO - I think that is adorable he called it a herman crab.
ReplyDeleteAND I'm ready for the drinkie....
When I'm here and I see a title like this one...I know I'm in for a treat. No matter what direction the "crabs" went.
ReplyDeleteWe're begging for sun in Utah, too.
