sunday afternoon fun

We decided to head out for an adventure one Sunday afternoon.  So off to the local beachfront we went.  The kids played at the park for a while, we some had afternoon tea, then we went for a walk along the jetty before heading down to the waters edge where the tide was out.  At first we could see these funny shapes on the sand but as we got closer the kids noticed they were tiny solider crabs.  So with their shorts rolled up the kids had a ball running all over the beach chasing the crabs - and quite frankly terrorising the poor little things.  The kids could not believe how many crabs their were.  Their were literally hundreds and thousands of them scatter all over the beach in HUGE groups.  We had such a great afternoon filled with lots of laughter!!
