Thank you Da!

We used to go shrimping several times every summer. We haven't been in a couple of years. We talked Da into getting his shrimping license again and taking us while we were home.

Captain Da taking us to the shrimp and Daddy and Brian in the background ready to do all the hard work.

Luc loved his first big "boap" ride. He hated his life jacket though. He kept asking us to take if off most of the trip.

Papa John showing Luc the dolphins that were following us.

This is one of the most relaxing and peaceful places.

In four drags, over two days, we only caught 6 shrimp.

Luc's first taste of sushi. He didn't really eat that.

Luc loved driving the boat. If we went to the front of the boat, he would want to get down and go back to drive.

When we're done sorting the shrimp from fish, crabs, etc, we feed the dolphins the scraps. Luc enjoyed this too. I was too scared to let him put a fish in the dolphins mouth but I let him throw fish out. He would smack his lips to call the dolphins. He learned what sound a dolphin makes too.



Thank you so much Da! I know you didn't want to go but we all really appreciated it. We all had tons of fun even if we didn't catch enough to eat for supper.

AND thank you Daddy and Brian for doing all the hard work!

Looks like so much fun! I'm glad you talked him into taking you =) No wonder you miss the beach so much when you're in Texas!
