Vacation - Day 4 - Part Deux

Today we hung out and enjoyed the good life. In the afternoon there was a cookout at the resort, and we got burgers, and hotdogs, and coleslaw, and beans, and potato salad. They gave away two cruises, and a dinner certificate, but we did not win, unfortunately.

Later in the day we headed down to the beach, and played in high tide, with many massive waves. We sat down on the beach where the waves were washing in, and Amber said something about coral, and she reached for a shell, and a crab just popped out of the sand behind us! We reacted quickly and used a boogie board to block him from just running into the beach. He was well over a decimeter long. He stopped and looked at us, and then a wave came and rescued him, and he scurried back into the ocean, snapping as he went. It was a most excellent experience. Amber does a good impression of the crab. Apparently he was French.

Edit: The crab was a Ghost Crab.
