Here we go a crabbin'...

One evening Travis got a little hankering for some crab. So he decided to try his hand at crabbing. He hit up a local joint to get the low down and proper equipment and then we headed to the pier....

I tried to not let my quirk about heights and drop offs get to me while everyone was dangling from the pier over water I didn't particularly want to jump into...
It was a little bit of a slow start with a learning curve.

But everyone caught on pretty quick...

And soon we had about 5 decent crabs...

...they apparently like to hold on to each other and blow bubbles. Very tricky and entertaining.
Kate wasn't sure what she thought about all this...


...but she sure did love hanging out with everyone on a gorgeous evening.
Oh, and we actually ended up throwing the little pinchers back. And never did try eating it for reals. Not sure why... guess they were too cute, or I mean too ugly.
