Oregon 2015 - Day 6: Part 2

Awe, crabbing at the docks...a family tradition.  Not so much for my current little family, but definitely my Clark family. Kevin and Boyd went down to the dock and we had planned on meeting them there after Allie's nap.  Well, Allie (and Tony) slept for like 3 hours, so Megan and I went without them.  The boys didn't want to go because they were playing with some of the cousins at the cabins.
Megan was pretty scared of the crabs at first.  She didn't want to be anywhere near them, but yet she was super intrigued by them.
Megan loved hanging out on the dock with Averee.  I think it made her feel big hanging out with some of the bigger cousins.  We watched the guys pull the nets up about a dozen times maybe before we headed back to the cabin.  They caught 6 crabs that they were able to keep (they have to be male and big enough to keep).
My dad took Bills family out in the boat to go crabbing and they caught over 30 crab.  So we had plenty of fresh crab for the crab feast that we had at grandpa's house.

So after the docks, Megan and I went back to the cabins.  Allie had woken up by then and we were all pretty hungry for some late lunch.  We met up with Julie's family at a burger and fries place.  It was ok food.  The kids had fun eating with their cousins.
After we ate we went back to the cabins to hang out before the big crab feast.  When it was time we drove over to grandpa's house and the party was in full swing.  A good friend of the family, Dorthy, that lives in Coos Bay came and brought the sister missionaries who live in her house, so that was a fun surprise.
They had other side dishes that people ate with the crab and then we all just hung out.  Josh is the only kid, besides Allie, that I could get to stand by the crab for a picture.  None of them would try and eat it.  Can't blame them.
The kids ran around grandpa's yard and played in the sand rail.  It was the perfect weather and we all had a great night.  What a fun crabbing day.
