Crabbing

That’s right…I said crabbing. If you’ve never been you need to go. It’s pretty simple too. Just tie a piece of nasty meat (turkey neck in our case) to the end of a string, drop it in the water and wait. When the crab bites you slowly pull in the line and scoop it with a net. A little less intense than how they do it on “Deadliest Catch”, but fun none the less!

The littlest ones came along the first day we went. This trip was cut short by a thunderstorm though.

The supervisors…

The help…they were very busy trying to find a parking place for the wagon.

The storm that cut our visit to the crab dock short. It’s pretty though isn’t it?

Trip #2 – we had better luck. Only the big kids came today. The little ones stayed at home to keep an eye on Brian.

Boppa and Nana came down to the dock and Boppa made the kids their own lines with rocks on them to throw in the water. Rocks on the end of a rope…who would have know that would be fun for hours?

Aunta and I caught 5 crabs in a half hour. The kids caught the same rocks 100 times in a half hour. They won, so they got to ride the golf cart back to the house. Poor Aunta and I had to walk!
