Vacation Day #6

So, the next day of our trip starts out with running downstairs to check on our precious crabs that we caught! Time to say goodbye! Parting is such sweet sorrow!



Next on the agenda was a lesson from Mr. Lewis (Paul). He taught us all how to go crabbing in the back bay. First we got some chicken necks, tied string to them and then threw them out, holding onto one end. When the line got tight you slowly pull the string in. While the crab is busy eating you scoop him into the net and you have supper!
Here we are getting our tutorial from the crab catching expert!





Waiting patiently for a crab to snap at our bait.



Swinging the bait out was an art form in itself!














CRABS!!!!!





After we caught all the crabs we could, then headed out to the jetties. We walked out into the middle of the ocean!









After a full morning of play we had some worn out kiddos!
We headed back to the beach house where we played on the beach for rest of the day!



FUN TIMES on Day #6!!!
More fun ahead!
