THREE PIECES OF JULY: THIRD PIECE (F) 7/31/2013

On Wednesday, July 31, our numbers were dwindling.  With only Jed and Kevin and their families left at our home, it was quieter and we realized the long planned Cowley Family Reunion was coming to a close.  Today we went to Happy Days Malt Shop and had some old style hamburgers, fries and shakes.....except a couple of us decided to head to the fish and chips wagon across the parking lot.  After lunch, we toured the amazing hot rod display there in Happy Days.  Here Batman does his best fifties look in front of the car from the movie,  "American Graffiti".

  Pineapple was not to be out done and put on her cutie-pie look.

Then we all left.  Here are Kate, Jed, Green Hornet and Grandma headed to the black berry fields, with Happy Days Malt Shop in the background.

Batman, Uncle Kevin and the backside of Grandma going at it with the blackberries.

 Mama Kate and Daddy Jed  do a diaper change in the trunk of their car.  Never seen that done before!!!

After we processed the blackberries we went up to Port Orford for a try at crabbing.  Armed with two traps, three rings and a bunch of turkey backs and necks, we set our taste buds on crab salad for dinner.

Baiting a crab ring.

With the traps and rings over the side all we had left to do was watch, wait and call, "Here crabbie, crabbie."

After pulling up half a dozen female crabs that we had to throw back......

...we gave the sea gulls a good feed of our remaining bait and went home empty handed.

A very fun day, topped off by a dinner of left overs and an evening of visiting.
