Today was another fun day as we woke up early and drove into Portland for our lucky catch lobster cruise. We had to park at in Walmart outside of town and get in Uber in as there is no parking in the city. We arrived just in time to go to the restroom and then get on the boat. The captain was very nice and went to highschool with Amanda Reed. We got suited up in our aprons and gloves and started pulling traps as we left the bay. We saw forts and also 8 lighthouses which made mommy happy happy. The girls had a great time filling the beanbags with fish and eating the traps before we threw them back out. When the captain pulled up the traps, you could see the lobsters and crabs in them. He taught us how to measure them and let everyone measure to see if we had any keepers. The girls thought he looked like Dennis Quaid. We found one lobster that was already marked as a female that had eggs so she was a breeder and safe for her whole life. When we were done we got to choose our lobsters to walk over to Portland lobster company where they would cook them for us. The girls thought it was fun to leave the boat with the wiggling lobsters and Colbie dropped hers once on the dock and once on the boardwalk. Thankfully he did not get away. The fun was over when the plates came out and it was time for lunch...they were somewhat disgusted but the lobsters were definitely the best we have ever eaten.
