You have to go crabbing when you go to Coos Bay, it's tradition. So we took the kids to the docks and found them some life jackets. They have life jackets for the kids that you can borrow and it makes you worry just a little less to have your kids on the docks.
It was colder on the docks then we thought it was going to be. Because of the cold Allie and Megan didn't last very long. They were able to see some nets brought up and see the crabs coming out of the net. Uncle Boyd even caught a really big one while they were watching.
It's kind of funny because I asked Boyd to stop so I could get a picture with him holding the big crab and as soon as I was done the crab reached around and pinched his finger. Lucky for him he was wearing gloves or that really would have hurt bad.
So Tony took the girls and Tyler back to the cabins while Josh and I stayed at the docks. I like watching them pull the nets and seeing the crabs all scatter around the docks.
Josh liked watching the crabs in the bucket flight each other when they are first put in the bucket. The kids would all chant "crab fight." It was super silly.
Josh and I last about an hour more before we were ready to go. Betsy and Wendy were also ready and so we hitched a ride with Wendy back to the cabins.
Always a good time on the docks. Last year Megan hung out on the docks with me and this year it was Josh. Maybe it'll be Tyler next year. So many memories.
