Oregon

We took a long weekend and went to the beach in Cape Meares, Oregon. My parents flew in from Utah and Erin, Devan, and Adeline are in Vancouver, WA for the summer, so they got to come. My aunt Sarah and Grandma Ellen live in Portland and came also. On the way we stopped at the Tillamook Cheese factory for a tour. We all stayed in a cabin right on the beach. One of the highlights of the trip was going crabbing at Netarts Bay.

Adeline learned how to play Wii.

Here is Jacob ready to go get some crabs. With the crabbing package you get a boat, some traps, and fish for bait. You drive around in the boat, drop the traps, and check them after a few minutes. It was a little early in the season, but we still came away with about 5 crabs.

Adeline wasn't sure she liked being in the boat.

Pulling in the catch. We caught tons of them but for the Dungeness crabs, they only let you keep the males that are over a certain size. Most of the crabs were smaller than that.

Jacob is teething again. His first top tooth just came through, and we're hoping the second is not far behind.
