We headed out on Friday evening with Dan, Jill, and Jill's friend Charity down towards our destination at Twin Harbors State Park. We stayed the night at one of Dan's friend's cabin and then woke up bright and early to finish the rest of our drive. Clamming was definitely an experience! It was raining, hailing and blowing very hard, so we were soaked pretty much immediately. This did not detract from the goal however... here is what we were after:
In order to catch these lovely creatures, you look for a small dimple in the sand and then push something called a clam "gun" into the sand and suction up the sand, hopefully catching the clam before it gets away!
All those piles are places where people have dug up looking for clams.
After catching around 40 clams, we headed home. The ladies went to the store while the guys cleaned the clams.
We fried them up and were ready to eat our fresh catch of the day!
I was not so sure about the clams....
But I was definitely sure about the dessert!
On Easter we went to church in the morning for an incredibly moving service. I then volunteered in the toddler room at church for the next service. Afterwards, Ben & I headed over to Adelle's for Easter brunch. We had a wonderful time catching up with friends and of course, holding the babies :) Here is Owen, 6 months

"It was raining, hailing and blowing very hard, so we were soaked pretty much immediately"...hmmmm, sounds like my trip to Humphrey's Peak! Funky lookin' little mollusks, but I bet they were tasty. I could bust a move on some major chowder with those boys. Glad you had a good experience outdoors. You certainly earned your dinner that day!
Those are pretty weird lookin.
I am not sure I would be able to eat them after seeing them.
But HOW FUN that experience was with your wonderful friends. I look forward to meeting them this summer some time.
