The NorthWest Difference

Crab anyone?? We were hunting for our Crab dinner the other day after a nice hike. We found baby crabs that we would pick up and hold.... to BIG crabs that we didn't dare touch, because they were very mean. Then again you can't blame them for being mean as people would touch, poke, and squish them throughout the day. Montey kept picking up rocks and attempting to pick up baby crabs... those guys are fast.






Have you ever been starfish hunting? There were so many starfish laying around on the shore from the low tide, that it was going to be too late for these starfish before high tide came in. So we searched, and gathered, and saved about 40 Starfish. We threw them back into the ocean, making a Starfish City.





And This is what we do when we are not hunting for crabs, and saving starfish, we are a family of leisure. Just laying around, getting in those extra snoozes, before Eric starts work officially next Monday. Much later then what we originally thought, but better then no job at all..... and so we wait. Hmmmm.... that seems to be our family's current status always, "And so we wait."

We used to hunt for little sand crabs at the beach when we were little. As the water runs over their holes in the sand, the holes will bubble then you have to dig like crazy to find the little critters. We'd spend hours collecting sand crabs then our mom wouldn't let us take them home. :(
Glad to see you guys are settled.
