Phil and I (along with SEVERAL HUNDRED other people) went scalloping this weekend. We didn't think about the fact that it was a Saturday on a holiday weekend, but it was totally worth it!
Getting ready to test the water.
Scalloping is one of our yearly traditions, and this made YEAR #6.
Here's a glimpse of what we do:
Despite my nervousness at taking our camera under water, Phil captured some awesome footage of catching a scallop. It's like treasure-hunting. As soon as you see one of the little buggers, you dive down and grab it. Check this out!
While Phil was busy finding scallops, I had other matters to tend to on the boat. Being away from a nursing baby for the entire day requires some creative planning.
No worries though...I did have my share of relaxation
in between all of the scalloping, pumping, and eating.
Here's a peek at the cleaning/shucking process.
By the end of the day, we had over 50 scallops, patches of sunburn in random places, and refreshed spirits from spending the entire day with each other. Can't wait for next year!

Is it scallop season? Yesterday when you posted on facebook that you were going scalloping for the day, your comment was immediately followed by my cousin (who lives in florida) saying she was going "scalloping for the day".
I'm not sure if I could down one raw, but being out on the water all day looks like a blast!
What'd you do with the kids all day?
