Crabby Crab

You know those little ghost crabs that look so cute and innocent, popping their head up out of the sand, doing a quick scan of the area, then running a few feet to bury down into another hole?  Well, today's morning adventure brought a whole new light to the “cuteness” of those little creatures.
We were sitting under the tent on the beach, Heather & Finn sitting on the beach blanket, spotting some rather large crabs poking their heads out from the sand, when Jim decided to sneak  up on one of these crabs who was just hanging out a few feet from the tent.
As soon as the crab was spooked,  he began to run straight for the tent, directly towards Heather & Finn.  Before any of us realized what was happening, this rather large crab (I mean he was large enough to be dinner!)  had managed to scurry across the diagonal of the tent and run up Heather's leg as far as her knee, where he obviously found himself catapulted to the ground when Heather jumped up to get rid of the guy.
What was once a cute little adventure soon became a horror story in Finn's eyes and you can only well imagine the distraught cries that resulted from the boldness of this crab.
And, to make matters worse, when Jim strapped Finn into the stroller to bring him back up to the house, he was surprised to find Mr. Crab hanging out under the stroller, where he proceeded to jump on Jim's foot, causing Jim to jump and Finn to start wailing all over again!
I don't know if the crabs are a bit bolder here in Duck, but I can tell you that we will be watching our backs for the rest of the week.  Just in case this guy decides to sneak up on any of us just for fun!
