Tutorial on Catching Crabs - Demonstrated by the Master Joshua

1 - Grab you bucket, your net, and a long string with a clothes pin tied at the end.


2. You get your aunt to grab some muscles out of the water for you and then you grab a rock and break open the muscles so the inside gooey part is exposed.
3. You attach the muscle to the clothes pin and look long and hard into the water until you spot a crab (It takes some training to spot them....:D). Then you drop the string into the water....slowly and carefully.
4. Then you yell for you slow picture taking aunt to grab the net and scope the crab up after you have slowly pulled the crab out of the water.
5. Then you lower the crab into the bucket after you remember that you need water in the bucket.6. Then you catch as many crabs as you want and then release them back into the water when you're done looking at them.
Tak Joshie!!! Jeg er rigtig glad for at du vidste mig hvordan man fanger krabber....Det var rigtig spaendende og nu vil Laney og Ty ogsaa gerne laere at fange krabber. Du maa lige vise dem det naeste gang vi kommer.

My Trip to Denmark

Ben stayed home with the kids while I went to Denmark for 10 days so I could go to a class reunion and celebrate my Grandma's 80th birthday. Here are some pictures of the highlights of the trip. Jumping on the trampoline at Wendy's house with Erin and Joshua (luckily there's not a picture of me jumping...)
Celebrating my Grandma's birthday with the rest of the Gram fam.



Eating brunch at Pia's apartment with the Rasmussen fam.

Hanging out with my little bro Zak!
Finding and picking the biggest strawberries with Joshie, my mom, and Wendy.
Other highlights were....driving up to Denmark with my mom....driving back to Germany with my dad....playing a fun game of soccer with Zak, Erin and Joshua half an hour before I had to leave for the airport (Zak - you're the man).....and most of all spending time with family and friends.
