Recently my friend Kim invited me to a Crab Fest. Crab Fest is an annual event that is attended by Kim her family, co-workers and friends. I agreed as it sounded like fun. Well the day arrived and I made my way to Ephrata to meet Kim. I arrived and met Kim and her two cats (two cats and only 3 eyes, a little creepy). Anyway we watched "Deadliest Catch" while we waited for Ang and Cory. Ang and Cory got there and we headed out. I sure hope that fisherman was OK. We got to Kim's sister Heather's house and there was already a large crowd. I met some new people including Kim's Mom and Step-Dad, Kim's Dad, Kim's sister Heather and her husband Clint. After we sat for a little while we were advised it was crab time. We went and found a place and started "Crustacean Devastation" (good one Cory). I being a novice got advice from Cory and it worked out well. Crab is a tasty treat but there is work involved. You have to get them open, then get past the "mustard", the lungs and what looked like pasta but probably wasn't. I myself did pretty well, I did wake up with more scrapes on my thumbs than I had thought though. So after we made a mess of guts and shells, we went to relax. It was a nice evening and the conversation was good. After it got dark we were treated to a fireworks display choreographed to music. It was real good and those neighbors better go back to the drawing board for next year. Later we were able to see the Ephrata fireworks from the front lawn. Well at this point most people headed home except a few brave souls. The topics of conversation definitely went in another direction. At the end of the night there were Awards. Now I don't know most of the people they gave the Awards to, so I have my own Awards.
Best Squeal - Heather, Best Storm Window Operator - Clint, Best Chair Shopper - Sarah, Best Wrestling Match - Ang vs Clint, Best Uncomfortable Dancer - Kim, Comfiest Chair - Cory, Best Gender Disguising Hat - The Crab Hat, Best Meal - Boiled Hot Dogs, Best Drink - Hot Dog Water With Chocolate Syrup, Best Difference Between Kim & Heather - You'll Probably Never See Kim Prance, Best Gift - Garlic Mashed Potatoes & The Phrase I Heard The Most - A tie between: Are You Sure You Don't Want a Chair & "Kim do I have time to go pee?" Heather.
Well I did have fun I suppose and I learned some things I didn't know, like Kim has never cooked hot dogs for herself. She is sooo missing out. Anyway hopefully my thumbs will heal up soon.
