Crabbing

We headed up north to a place called Lawson's Landing in Dillion's Beach.

We were all first timers but were very successful in our catch.

I to this point had only had real crab once and wasn't the biggest fan, but right fresh from

the ocean it tasted awesome!

Nayvee was so brave and even held a live crab!

The kids had so much fun, as you can see Carter wasn't going to let a little cloud cover stop

him from playing in the water all day. The crazy part was even though we didn't see the sun

for one second, everyone got sunburned! Mostly John in our family.

Now for the crabbing. The boys would take cages bated with

fish fillets and drop them about 40 feet out from shore. We would wait about an hour

and then pull them up. To our amazement they were full of crabs.

Then they would bring them in and we would boil them up!

It was SO FUN!

We also learned a fabulous trick from our friends the Tarletons

Smores with Nutella...Delicious!

Banks is getting so big and is definitely starting to be able to 

communicate what he is wanting. He really loves to "help" me do my chores

and loves to give hugs and kisses.

He's a mama's boy, but cries his eyes out every morning when his dad leaves for school.
