On the last day of our trip we had to cross off the final thing on our to do list: crabbing.  Eric had done all the research and knew where to go and what to do.  We started by renting the crab pot and buying some crab bait (frozen chicken, who knew?)

Then you lower the prepared crab pot into the water

Then you wait. You must wait longer than a three-year has the patience for.  So you go to the park down the street for a little while and get some lunch.

Then you come back and pull up the crab pot to see what treasure you may have caught.

Oh yeah, we caught one!

It was a female so we were required to throw it back.  Good thing we weren't planning on keeping it anyway.

The members of the Smith family all give this activity two thumbs up.

We also headed to downtown Seaside for some Pronto Pups and the aquarium.

This was such a great trip.  We can't wait to make our way back to the coast again some time very soon.
