Cate's first lobster bake

Tonight was the annual Shift One lobster bake/party at Mike Drake's house in West Bath. It doesn't seem that long ago that we were at last year's party and I was pregnant with Cate. Mike has a great little house on a picturesque point on a tidal river that flows straight out to the ocean. On his off days, Mike lobsters, so when he does a lobster bake, not only are they literally right out of the water, but he cooks up plenty for all! Below, Cate is getting up close and personal with her first lobster. On the right, Lynda (Mike's fiance) is showing Cate the art of steaming lobsters, clams, and corn in a big pile of seaweed over a fire.



Just a few cute family pictures below. Mike's lobster traps made a nice little seat for Cate!



I think Cate thoroughly enjoyed her first lobster bake!! Oh, and that's Mike's lobster boat in the background that we got to take a ride on after dinner (well, not Cate- no baby life jackets available!!)
