Any one want crab?

Alright I know I am not doing my best at updating my blog in a timely manner. Yes, I admit it has taken me nearly a full month to just put my pictures of our vacation in Seattle, Washington. But I am proud to say that this is the last post on Washington vacation....well until we go again. But I promise to do better with my next vacation... this coming week. I think that was my big motivation was the fact that I will have to posted about our Draft Horse Show Competition next week. So anyways on to what I was going to really Blog about.....
On our last day there was got up at the wee hours of the EARLY morning and raced to the cove. We then proceed to wade out into the (cold) ocean water, sea weed clogged water to try and find crabs. Now I was totally gun ho about all this until I realized I wouldn't be able to see what was in the water. That just freaks the crap out of me. I think I have seen way to many scary movies. Anyways Doug and I were a team and had to carry around a large paint bucket and a three pronged rake to find these critters. Once we found them we had the trick of trying to catch them. Then on top of that you have to measure their shell to see if they are even big enough and then check if female or male. There are some stricked rules on how many you can have, size, and the gender. We were crabbing for the Dungeness and the red ones. Anyways it was definitely a memorable moment and we loved it. I have to admit I was not thrilled after a crab latched on to Miriam's foot and made her scream, cus that made me scream and freaked me out even more so.
O yeah some of the other pictures are from us visiting Forks Washington again. They had this really cool store that was decorated really sweet. So of course I took some fun pictures. Doug even let me take a picture of him with Edward and Bella cut outs. Man he puts up with a lot. ha ha Anyways we loved all the fun crazy memories we made that rushed week. Thanks again Adam and Miriam for vacationing with us. Next time we should do a cruise!!!

Did you like the crabs you caught and ate? Fresh crab is the best. It is pretty cool you went to La Push beach. I imagine there isn't much to see though. It looks like there was a lot of fun to be had though. :)

Yikes! I don't know if I would have been brave enough to catch crabs! But I bet they were delicious :)
Are you guys going to visit your parents any time soon? If you do, you really should stop in Vegas! I'm dying to see you again!
