Winchester Bay a weekend of crabbing

This last weekend we spent the weekend with my husbands family.  His mom had her 60th Birthday and wanting all of her family together for a weekend on the Bay.  This is the first trip we've ever taken with Steve's sister and family and it was great having everyone together.  Friday we got to the bay around lunch.  Met up with his parents and then ate lunch on a floating restaurant on the bay.  It was delicious!  Then we checked into our cabin, quickly unpacked and set up the tent then went off to crab.  This was my first time ever crabbing, it was a lot of fun and the kids really enjoyed it.  We caught around 15 crabs the first day.  The next day we spent the whole day crabbing and then had a delicious crab boil with crab, potatoes, corn and sausage.  It was sooo good.   Parker left with Grandpa afterwards and fished with him the next day in his first bass tournament.  He caught five fish but they only weighed collectively 5.5lbs.

Fishing

The big boys got to go fishing at our Aquatic center today.  They are closing down the outdoor pool, so they hosted a fishing derby.  They learned to cast, tie on the bait, catch a fish, clean and cook their fish.
