Cape Cod, v 4.0

Early morning playtime. Matt and Stacey will be happy to see their bouncy seat used as a racetrack. Hanako tolerates.Low tide beckons the crab hunter.Fearless.Our biggest catch, a Portly Spider Crab. Not nearly as ill-tempered as the Calico Crab.Midday lounging.A short walk to the beach.


The madness begins, crabs in the water!
A family effort.
1 hour later, 100 hermit crabs.



Goodbye, beach.

Postscript-
Reviewing our photos at home, I found this one of Danny holding a crab part with Edward Hopper's house in the background.Significant because he painted Nighthawks, which appears in one of Danny's favorite books, Pete and Pickles.

Also the deep blues of the sea and sky are thanks to a lens polarizer from Aunt Maggie; everyone should have one.

I like the facepaint you all use out there and want to tell you how much I appreciate the timely updates.
