We started Fat Tuesday with a good helping of fresh Malasadas! The Portuguese sugar-doughnut that is enjoyed here in Hawaii, especially on Mardi Gras, sell out FAST! We got in line right when they opened and ended up with the last two bags!
I vowed that we needed to have more ice-cream while we were here. The kids & Pop took that to mean "ice-cream of any variety/caliber". Drumsticks for brekkies have become commonplace...
My intention was really to get more Lappert's... coconut macadamia nut ice cream! We took the boys for a walk up to Lappert's this afternoon while Grammie & Pop went to pick up some fresh Mahi Mahi
for dinner. They met us at the ice-cream shop and we enjoyed some Kauai Pie, Coconut/Macadamia Nut/Caramel, and Kona Coffee waffle cones!
After saluting the sunset and having an amazing dinner of fresh fish, the boys went on an airplane ride...
Sneek attacked Daddy...
And basically got tickle-tortured!
Then we donned the headlamps and went on a crab hunt - a Klipper-Klan tradition (http://anthonlogy.blogspot.com/2012/03/crabby.html).
The crabs are smaller than the palm of your hand and the holes vary in size - anywhere from finger-sized to full arm-sized (like the one below). Hole size is much less an indicator of crab size, much the same way the size of our homes are not indicative of our size...
You stick your hand down the hole so you can put your finger on the crab - honestly, it is to keep them from getting hurt. And to keep from you getting pinched! You dig under the hole so the crab, in theory, drops into the hole. Sometimes, you catch something unexpected...
We caught three of the crabs in a cup. I had visions of them skitting across the beach, and boys toes, when we realized them. OK, I DREAMED they would scamper across the boys toes... turned out they needed a little encouragement.
The best way to get the sand off? A little foot-wash and a spa :)
