For Riley's birthday, Grandma and Grandpa got him a Critter Cruise tour while we were out on Nantucket. The basic idea is you go out on a boat and the crew pulls stuff up from lobster traps and puts it in bins on the deck so the kids can check out the creatures. The idea is a little like the Schooner camp I went to when I was young.
On our boat they brought in some crabs, fish, and a lobster. Megan and Riley were a little lukewarm when asked to touch the animals, but they still liked looking at them in the tanks. I did eventually get them to touch the back of the lobster.
After hitting the traps, all the kids got a rod and reel so they could go fishing. This is where they really got into it. Riley caught 3 fish, and I think Megan got around 7 - every few seconds it seemed like she was pulling another one in. It was quite a sight. They both had lots of fun. Thanks, Grandma & Grandpa!
