Yesterday, me, Oma, and Aunt Pennie, had a fire outside in the fire pit. We roasted marshmallows. I went to sleep yesterday night, at 9 P.M. because Uncle Art was going to wake me up 30 minutes earlier than usual, at 4:30 A.M. so i wanted to get some more sleep than usual.

This morning, i woke up, and had another bagel, (now all of my bagels are gone). I made a sandwich because Uncle Art said we were going to get home later than usual, at 2 P.M. I also brought some pretzels filled with peanut butter. Today, were were hauling doubles, and about 35 single traps. Where the double traps are located, it is about 20 minutes away from shore, about 3 miles off shore. So... while we were going to the double traps, i was busy filling the yellow bait bags. (the yellow bait bags are bigger, and have smaller netting openings, so they hold bait way better. I filled a TON of bags, i filled all of the bait bags that we had on the boat at the time.
When we were hauling traps, we found another small lobster, that was so small, that it was smaller than the lobster measure itself! Uncle Art could just hold it in his hand, and it was so cute, and it had tiny little claws! We also hauled up a huge lobster, that had shell disease, which is a disease of the lobsters shell, but it was still really big! Its crusher claw was bigger than my hand!

Every-time we hauled a double trap, i would always do one trap (get all the lobsters from it, and bait it) and Uncle Art would do the other one. Sometimes Uncle Art would help me with the lobster part if i was filling bait bags or something. We had our sandwiches for lunch, and then we hauled single traps. Single traps are so much easier compared to double traps.
We got home at about 2, and then i took a shower. Today, my Mom, Dad, Levi, and Grandma were all coming over to Aunt Pennies house to have lobster for dinner. Aunt Pennie has a whole set of plates and other stuff that we use when we are eating lobster. She has some lobster themed table wear, and lobster plates!

Tomorrow, i think it will be an easier day, and we will probably only haul singles, but please give ideas for more "Learner posts"
