The kids had a good first week at their new school. Tuesday night we had more arts & crafts time covering more textbooks. All of the kids' books need to be covered. Since I hadn't done this since at least junior high, I had to watch you tube to relearn the skill.
Wednesday night Cora had her first soccer game of the year. They lost, but she had a good game and enjoyed herself.
Saturday morning Cora had a fundraising car wash for the girls and boys soccer teams. That afternoon we went to Assateague State Park.
At the end of our water time we were able to view some wild horses in their natural habitat.
Really they were just wandering the parking lot. They kind of own the place.
Sunday Phil, Athan, and I headed into town to pick up some crabbing supplies. We returned home, ate lunch, then we all went down to Crisfield to try out a new skill. My goal for the day was 2. We ended up with 10. Everyone really enjoyed the experience. When we got home Phil cleaned them up so that we'd only cook the legs. We cooked them, chilled them, and put them in the fridge for this week.
These were the first two crabs we caught. We had to throw them back though. For they were too small, and they were female.
The first keeper!
Even the kids that don't like crab found it very fun. I'm going to get some more hand lines and another net. Next time Phil and I will just sit back and measure for the keepers.
Thanks for reading!
