This was our first time going shrimping with Justin and Heather. We have wanted to go for years but I didn't want to take a baby, so finally I felt like we could go. We had so much fun. We now can say we have gone shrimping and know what we are doing. The kids just loved it. It was fun to experience something new.
Garrett and Kai getting all the pots ready to go. The whole process was very cool to watch. We could not have asked for better weather. 65-70's.
On the Ocean we saw jelly fish, seals, and star fish. The water was wonderful, it reminds me a lot of Priest Lake. So Beautiful. The kids would run to the side of the boat to see different things in the water. They love being with their cousins.
When we would pull in the pots we would average about 30 shrimp per pot. The most we ever got was 70 and the least was 5. The pots would sit for 1 hour then we would pull them and collect the shrimp and rebait the pots. We had 4 pots on the boat. It was a lot of work for the men. Heather and I took care of the kids.
Morgan was counting shrimp. The limit was 80 per person per day. So we could have caught 880 shrimp per day. We only caught 400 per day. Justin and Heather say the shrimping was not that great this year, but we didn't know any better so we had a great time.

Natalie playing with them. Madie and Natalie did great pulling the heads off. Morgan did it also, but liked counting them more. Brooklyn did great on the boat, she loved it.
The place we stayed was fun for the kids, walking trails, lots of grass to play on, BBQ grills, hot tub.
Enjoying the trip
The beach was wonderful, my kids were in heaven with all the shells. We came home with bags and bags. I have never seen so many shells. Ones that were nice and big.
We found a star fish on the beach, it was still alive.
What a fun trip!!! We hope to go back again sometime. We can't wait to cook up the shrimp for dinner.
