I'm a big fan of the TV show - Deadliest Catch. It's about fishing vessels that go crab fishing on the Bering Sea in Alaska. I think what makes it interesting is that a lot of them are local area fisherman (Ballard & Seattle, WA). Anyways, in May, they had what is called Catch Con. It is a chance to meet the Captains & Crew, play some games, eat some food and take a tour of the boat. They also talk candidly with the Captains & Crew. It was a ton of fun & I can't wait to go back next year. It's free, but you need to register and they only open it up to so many people. We were one of the lucky few hundred =]
This is a picture of the Captain & Crew of the Cornelia Marie. Captain Phil Harris passed away February 9th.
I'm sitting up in the crab pot. I look like I'm slouching forward a little, but really I'm not. My head barely touches the top of the pot!!

Excited to be at Catch Con =]
Now a few shots of the little cutie =]He loves water... absolutely LOVES it!! Bath time is always a struggle because he never wants to get out. He loves to just splash around and dunk his face and pour water on his head. Whenever I try to get him out, he cries and throws a fit. Usually kids cry to get in the bath, not this one!!
The face he makes when you tell him we're getting out soon!
