First Crabbing Trip

Henry and Mama went on their first crabbing trip this weekend with Daddy, Grandma O and Grandpa Jim. Daddy did all the work pulling the pots and Grandma O helped sort the crabs (you can only keep the big boy crabs). We ended up with 39 crabs on this outing. Grandpa Jim drove the boat. Henry and Mama just enjoyed the ride. It was a little chilly and rainy, but Henry loves to be outside regardless. Luckily the boat has a canopy and Mama brought a blanket, otherwise Mama would have froze.


Henry didn't mind his life jacket (thank goodness). The neck support functioned as a nice pillow for a short morning nap in Mama's arms.

Grandma O is making funny faces while holding up various crabs. Henry thought she was funny. He was such a good sport. We were out on the water for about 4 hours and he was pretty content for the entire trip. I'm sure this is just the first of MANY boat trips. I know Daddy is counting down the days until he can hold a fishing pole on his own.
