The boys new hobby...

Titus & Isaac have learned to dive down and catch the fresh water crabs that we have here in the lake. They have to swim along side the shore until they see one then dive down and catch it with their hands. Sometimes...well, a lot of times they come home with crab claw bites all on their hands...Titus says "thats just part of catching crabs!!"

Once they catch them they tie them up with the reeds that grow in the edge of the lake. This is how you buy them in the Market, tied up like this.

This is Alejandro, he (his brothers and cousins and friends) and my boys go out everyday around 1:30. Sometimes there are 8 boys swimming around looking for crabs. They take turns taking the crabs home to eat or to Market to sell.

They have some pretty big ones, they try not to catch the little ones, they are saving them for later!!

When it was Titus turn to take the crabs he decided he wanted to cook them for dinner. He cooked them all by himself, Now doesn't this look good? It was delicious...
