Crab festival

 St Mary's County Crab Festival!  In the almost 3 years we have lived here we haven't been able to go because it was always on Sunday.  This year they changed to a Saturday so I put it on the calendar and we've been waiting.

It was a lot of fun.  They had crab, and crafts, and music, and drinks, and fancy cars, and a petting zoo (where Lu got bit by a miniture horse), and ice cream. 

It was ho-OT.

 R had to work, which is okay cuz he hates crabs, and crowds and heat.  It would not have been his cup of tea.

Lu is allergic to shellfish, and E thought he liked crab until he was sitting in front of one then he remembered that looking at them makes him light headed (he is a light weight for sure). 

Sierra and Hannah opted for the crab cakes and turkey legs.

I was wishing I had Dani and Jen here, they would have been more fun crab picking company.

 Anyway it was fun sitting at a paper covered picnic table, sweat dripping down the backs of our legs, loud country music being sung on the stage, cold soda sweating on the table, the smell of shell fish in the air, kids and couples and families all around enjoying the heat and the fun.

I'd go again, with different company for sure, but I'd still go.

In the end Hannah was happy because she got a cute charm bracelet from one of the vendors, Lu was happy because she got an elephant painted on her face, Sierra was happy that we didn't stay long, Ethan was happy because Sierra took the kids to the pool when we got home, and I am always happy.

a cool treat when we got home
