It's August, which means it's time to go crabbing. This year we were able to take Crew crabbing for his first time. Every year we travel to the same area, Tillamook, Oregon. Devin's brother lives nearby so we stopped first at their place for a quick visit.
Then we were off to the coast.
Crabbing is usually entertainment enough but who couldn't use some catchy tunes from Crew and his harmonica.
We teamed up with my sister Cheri and part of her family. Devin and her husband always make a great team and with their daughter, Kaitlyn, Crew had a partner to be scared of the crabs with.
What's in his hand you might ask? That is the end of the pull cord that is used when starting the engine of a boat. Our engine had been stalling all morning and at one point I, the driver, couldn't get it started again. Devin tried to help me but he too couldn't get it started. Then we thought maybe Tony would have what it takes to start up our engine and it ended up being he had a little too much of it. He pulled the handle from the engine and with no way of starting the boat, we were drifting fast to nowhere. When the kids heard that our boat had broken they both burst into tears and Crew cried, "I'm too young to die!"
We always stop at the Tillamook Cheese Factory after crabbing. Their fresh cheese and ice cream is the BEST.
