Anna - A Hermit Crab Funeral

Wazzup?
So, first order of business, IBF's third birthday was this week (here's the celebration post!) so, HAPPY BIRTHDAY IBF!!!!!

Second order of business, today's post! As none of you know, my little sister, Ella-Grace, recently bought two hermit crabs. Both were girls, named Riley and Gretel. She bought Riley a few weeks before Gretel and, I'm sorry to say, we had her for about, ohhh, two days.

Needless to say, she's dead. A moment of silence please

....

Anywho, Ella decided that Gretel needed a proper funeral, and hired me (for free) as the photographer. Those are the photos I'm sharing with you today!

Let's begin:

First, we have Ella grieving for her crustacean friend.

Reading the eulogy. See that keyboard in the background? It's playing "Amazing Grace". A bit sacrilegious, yes, but she's eleven, people! Give her a break!!!

Riley, grieving for her lost friend.

The memorial. Along with the *ahem* "coffin" and Gretel's empty shell.

Ella and her crab.

Walking to the burial site.

*Overcome by grief, Ella had to take a moment to get out her emotions.

Preparing to "bury" Gretel. (Yes, we threw it in the dumpster. We can't bury a crab on base!!!)

Starting up the trash compactor.

One final good bye.

The long walk run home.

Mourning has begun.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this...uh...actually, I don't know what to call this... But I hope y'all enjoyed it all the same!!!

If you did, let me know in the comments, along with anything else you would like for me to post about!

Byeeeee!!!

*Disclaimer: Ella did not cry at any time during this funeral, so don't feel too bad. That is all.
