CRABS!

If you ask my boys, "what was your favorite thing to do in Connecticut"?  Hands down, they would tell you their favorite thing was the crab fishing.  They LOVED it.

First thing in the morning (very early) the boys would go down to the causeway to catch their bait.  Baby blues.  Owen was very good at catching these little fish.  Then, in the afternoon, it was off to Woody's boat dock to catch some crab.

 

It was great fun to pull up their fish with a crab hanging from it.  Sometimes, they would even catch two at once.

Gabe and Owen love to tell the story about the biggest crab that they caught.  They tell me that it was really big and mean.  In fact, Amaya caught it and it was as big as her head!  And, you did have to be very careful of those big ones because they would try to pinch you.

But, my favorite part of the crab fishing was the crab feast!  Boy was it good!
