Another fun catch of the day...CRAB!
We're still trying to research exactly what type of crab we found at the beach yesterday, but in the meantime we have had lots of fun learning that there are WAY more varieties of interesting crabs in the sea than we ever realized!
For example, we discovered that the Japanese Spider Crab has a leg span reaching up to 12 feet wide and can weigh up to 41 pounds!! That's a HUGE crab!
What a creative God we have!!
Thanks to our catch of the day, we've learned how to cook live crab (something I've never personally done...but perhaps it's time??) as well as the correct way to shell and eat crab too.
We also found a unit study here which we will check out this week. Mostly we've grown in our curiosity of God's creation under the sea. Who knows where else that could lead?
(He wanted to love it...but he didn't.)
(They did!)
It's awe-inspiring to explore the wonders that exist beneath our beautiful oceans.
How great is our God!
"Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure."
Psalm 145:7
"O LORD, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom have you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures."
Psalm 104:24
