Lobster Season in Fort Lauderdale, FL

Ross is taking his wetsuit off after catching some lobster.


Getting the bucket ready to put the lobsters in. They caught 4 of them. A nice little appetizer.



Ross emptying the lobster bag. Be careful of the spines (Spiney lobsters from Florida.)



Kyle getting one of the lobsters out of the bucket.



Kyle showing me his prize catch.



Wow what a lobster mmmm good they have to be at least 6 inches long from the front horns. You can catch 6 a day per person. (If your lucky!)



Gigi enjoying the lobsters, not quite sure what to make of them.





Kyle watch a video on You tube on how to separate the head from the tails.




Long attenea on this fellow



Lots of spines you have to wear gloves to handle these critters!




Very interesting alien creatures.










Twist and pull!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
















Ross putting the anntena on Kyle. Odd creatures for sure. But they sure do taste good.

Fort Lauderdale with the boys.

We are beginning another adventure on Cool Change on this trip, Cody has joined us. The whole family is here which is really nice. Gigi loves her brothers. The boys plan on doing several dives here in the Fort Lauderdale, FL area. Kyle and Cody are also going to try their hand at spear fishing. I must admit I am a little nervous about that, but they are both exicted about it.
