The New Hobby

Jeremy and Addison have a new hobby. I happen to be off today, so I got invited to tag along. Addison has taught me all the basics of this new hobby in the couple of hours in which we have been sitting out on this little rickety dock in the middle of a "creek" inlet that has some influence from the Atlantic Ocean.

Right now we are waiting for the tide to do it's "thing" so the two of them can show me how successful they are at their new hobby. If you ask Addison, her new hobby is called "cwabbin'!". She has all kinds of informative instructions to make this event productive. She's only been one other time, and she thinks she has mastered the art of "cwabbin'!".

Just in case anyone is still in the dark, we are out catching crabs today. I'll post pictures of our success as we go along. Patience has been Addison's biggest issue of the day thus far, or the lack therof!!

Do tell everyone how she described the crab's actions...

....specifically how religious the crab seemed to be....

LOL! The last crabbing trip, one of the crabs escaped from the basket while being transferred to the cooler. As it was escaping back to the side of the dock, it was clicking it's claws, not appreciating it's situation.

Addison's interpretation of the event was that the crab was "clapping his hands" - "just like he was in church!"
