Today Camden and I got pets. We each got two Hermit Crabs. I named mine Crabby and Hermie. Cam named his Bert and Bob.
We had to present are resons to are parents why we should have Hermit crabs – Here we are presenting are 7 resons —
1-They don’t poop and smell like cats
2-Easy to take care of
3-Don’t take up too much space
4-If we get bord we can watch them
5-They remind us of the beach and seasheells
6-They don’t eat much
7-Sleep alot
With these good reasons, are parents said that we could have Hermit crabs.
Here we are picking out are crabs.
They don’t like sun so we have to keep Hermie, Crabby, Bert and Bob in our bedrooms on the boat.
Funny fact…we have to keep them away from Maria so she does not kill them.
We can’t belive are parents let us have them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Life will be sooooo much better with are new pets!!!!!!
Love at First Sail 
hermet crabs!!! 🙂
Joelle – I love reading your blog!! How fun!! What good books have you read lately. Hugs, Ms. Hett
Hi Mrs. Hett! This is Joellen. I’m reading a ton of Thea Stilton books. I’ve read almost all of them. I also am reading First Dive to Shark Dive! We will be sailing past Andros Island where the book takes place. Fun! I miss you Mrs. Hett.
Just read your blog and love hearing about life on a sail boat. I know you have hermit crabs on the boat but do you also have a cat? If so that is so exciting. We all miss you and the family. Stay safe. Miss Teggie
hi joellen its teagan
hi its maci
hi joellen its teagan i hope you are having a great time
Joellen and Cam,
Super excited that your parents let you have pets- that is way cool!! I bet Crabby, Hermie, Bert, and Bob are enjoying their view of life from a boat rather than from a pet store, ya think? It sounds like life is good for you all and we’re so excited for you. How is homeschooling going? Is your mom a good teacher? What is the best thing you have learned about so far (either from homeschooling or living on the boat?)
We think about you guys all the time!
Love you,
Aunt Jenny
And this is a note to Cam from Bridget. She got tired of typing (the one to Joellen took a LONG time!) so this is Aunt Jenny writing.
Dear Cam,
Do you still have the geode you found in our woods? I had fun sledding with you. You are the best cousin ever. How are you?
Love,
Bridget Lynn Hanrahan

Hi Joellen! I’ve been having so much fun hearing about your new pets and the beginning of your big adventure! We have had snow days all week this week! We go back to school tomorrow, but we have a 2-hour delay. Miss you already! -Mr. Friermood
Hi Mr.Friermood Thank you for writing to me. How much snow is there? There is a cat I like to pet a lot and she lives on the dock. How was your Christmas? Joellen
Joellen,
I love your posts! Have you been sleeping on the boat? How have you made the boat feel like home? I liked your “funny fact”!!! I miss you.

Hi Joellen- How are Crabby and Hermit doing? How about Bert and Uncle BOB? Did they enjoy their ride in the car? Where are you keeping them on the boat? Still think you should have a race and see who the fastest one is–ha– See you soon Love PAPA
Hi Papa. Crabby and Hermie are doing great. How are you? Have you been to the beach lately? Bert and Bob are good too. See you soon.
Hi Cam & Joellen,
Congratulations on your new pets! This may seem like a silly question; but, can hermit crabs swim?
Hi Aunt Jayne. I don’t know if they can swim. I will let you know. Love, Joellen
Have fun with your crabs! What do you feed them?
Hi Erika! We can feed them anything. Crackers, bread, lettuce. And water.
– Joellen
Enjoy your new hermit crabs, Joellen and Cam!! Miss Maria
