Seattle - Crabbing Trip (Part 1)

This year the Young Men in our ward planned a crabbing trip to the Washington coast. Ian & Nathaniel were both pretty excited since neither had ever been crabbing and as a matter of fact Nathaniel had never seen the ocean!

The drive itself was not without it's own adventures. Jonathan & the boys were suppose to go by themselves since it was a BSA activity. Kya was begining to get sick before they left and Jonathan was already stressing about it, so his overprotective side kicked in and he pretty much refused to go unless Kya & I also came with. Poor Kya had to take an 8 hour drive in the truck feeling pretty yucky! We had not even made it 1/2 way and we discovered that the nebulizer kit we grabbed off her supply shelf was missing parts! So we had to stop in Moses Lake, WA and have Lincare rescue us! THANK YOU LINCARE! Probably should have been a hint to go home but we made sure the boys got to camp anyways!

The Pearson Boys - Tommy (age 6) & Michael (age 2)

My little Boy Scout! Ok so he's not little anymore... but he is a boy scout! Ian loves camping and now that he has a big brother he is willing to sleep in his own tent instead of with Mom & Dad. YEAH!

This is Jonathan hanging out with our good friend Colleen Pearson (she's formerly a Bellante from Antioch stake) and this is one of the pups from our litters -"Hunter"

The crabbing was pretty slow so the boys ended up doing a LOT of clam & Oyster digging. I swear Nathaniel dug up over 50 pounds of clams & probably ate 1/2 of them! Kami & Dan live just an hour from here so they came out with Eli for the night to camp with us. I unfortunatley did not get to enjoy this portion of our visit since Kya was admitted to Seattle Childrens Hospital for a pnemonia that night! (yeah no surprise there!) Jonathan, the kids & the Shaws all spent the morning clam digging & eating the fresh blackberry's growing everywhere!

Thus ended our Crabbing trip & began our additional week long Seattle trip!
