What do you do after you go crabbing? Why you have a crab feast! Tony and I don't really eat crab and none of our kids do either. So a crab feast is more for hanging out with family then it is for eating for us.
The rest of the family's brought a Papa Murphy's pizza to bake and share for dinner to go with the crab. Honestly most the people in my family don't eat crab so it's kind of funny that we always have all this crab and only a hand full of people who actually eat it.
We were the first family at my grandpa's house for the big crab feast. My dad and Kevin were there getting things ready. Kevin started cooking some crabs and my kids thought that it was pretty interesting. Once a couple crabs were cooked and cooled Kevin showed my kids how to break open the shell to get out the meat.
Kevin let each of the kids use the hammer thing and hit the crab legs. It made the juice squirt out of it and the kids thought that it was just so much fun. I had fun watching them.
I am glad that they were at least interested in the crab this year. Last year I couldn't get them to even go near the crab, so this is definite progress. Maybe one of these years we will be able to get them to eat some. Maybe.
