In what looks to be becoming a yearly tradition, today we went to the Wellfleet Audubon Society for a family hike. This time we were headed there with friends. Allison’s friend from college was up with her family. They have three kids and our kids fall right between theirs in ages. Andrew had a friend to play with and then Eva had two to play with. All the kids got along with each other really well overall.

The hike was lead by two people from the Audubon Society and they told us a lot about the area. We also got nets to use to catch fish and crabs and more. We also observed and caught the fiddler crabs in the area. There are tons of fiddler crabs. I love watching them as they zip in and out of their series of tunnels. I took along my 360 camera and when I got a chance I put it in fiddler crab city and then walked away to let it record without anyone around. Slowly the crabs came out of their holes and went back about their business. It is a tough thing to do because there were people coming and going over and over. I wasn’t really able to get the best video with lots of activity from the crabs. I’ll have to try another time when I have more time.

After our adventure we went back to Allison’s friend’s parent’s house for a cook out. The kids amused themselves with tons of chalk drawings on the driveway. They also spent time running around chasing after each other. Dinner was really good and we had fun visiting. It was nice for Allison to have some time with her friend.
