The kids and I had the opportunity to go crabbing on the Puget Sound on July 28th, 2016.  It was an amazing experience.  We had an amazing fisherman teaching us the tricks of the trade!

Mr. Smith showed us how to get the crab pots ready.  He used cat food, tuna, salmon, & chicken.  Hoping the bait will attract lots of crabs!

We enjoyed our time on the boat!

We also laid some ring traps.  Jadon loved throwing the buoys out.  They all had an opportunity to pull in the pots.

Crabs were caught!  Yay!  We learned how to tell if there were female or male.  Which species of crab we caught, Dungeness or Red Rock.   How to measure the crabs to find out if they were keepers our not.

Of course there was outdoor classroom opportunities.  We also learned about ocean scum, jellyfish, and seaweed.

It was amazing day on the puget sound!  Other than not reaching our limit on crabs it was a perfect day!

To add the icing on the cake, Mr. & Mrs. Smith invited us over to eat our catch of the day!  What a blessing!

Very thankful to the Smith family for inviting us to join the crabbing adventure!  We learned a ton and had a fabulous time!  Thank you!
