Welcome to The Frey Life daily vlogs! We are Peter & Mary, a married couple in our early 30's, showing the ups and downs of everyday life with #CysticFibrosis, a genetic lung disease that Mary was born with. In August 2019, Mary started a new CF medication that changed the trajectory of our future, and we are now in the process of growing our family through #adoption. We have an adorable standard poodle, Oliver, and a hairless sphynx cat, Harry. It's our hope that these videos can be an encouragement to to celebrate the little things in life and find joy amidst a world full of hard realities!

🦀 Peter captured some of his time out with Joe and Cassi crabbing!

[@NorseButterfly]

I remember crabbing with my grandparents in the puget sound, just down the road from where we used to live when I was a child. It was so much fun! In looking forward to fresh seafood at lower prices, and even catching some myself soon!

[@elizabethcabrera5718]

So do I the smile in his eyes . That all looks like so much fun Peter .

[@marleenhoncoop4188]

I love hearing Peters memory’s and the smile in his eyes when he shares them. Memory’s never go away, even if the people we made them with are no longer with us.

[@StarsHallow]

Yes!! ❤️🙌

[@PinkHawk191]

Very well said. It’s still hard to talk about my Uncle who passed away from COVID on February 5th.

[@sonialandry1039]

Beautifully said 💖🌟🙏

[@gina9171]

Some of my fondest memories is crabbing with my grandfather in Maryland and bring them home and the entire family sitting around the table covered with newspaper, picking them apart sipping on a freezing Coke cola. Of course Pop pop had a cold beer.

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

Shavua Tov guys! I get to see my little brother after the long weekend too! We’re babysitting his little dog while he goes to a friend’s funeral down in Essex on Wednesday. We haven’t seen each other in person for over a year thanks to COVID-19. Tomorrow is the Hebrew anniversary of losing our Mum, so I’ll be lighting a 25 hour memorial candle for her in our dining room as soon as Shabbat ends xxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@PinkHawk191]

Shavua Tov! May her memory be a blessing.

[@penelopepolinsneemeyer4757]

@@PinkHawk191 thank you so much xxxx

[@misspepe7416]

Thank you for taking us along! Also thanks to Joe and Cassie for being part of it all!.. What a sunrise 😍

[@donnaloveall1470]

Loved it.... It took me back to my Bohemian days living on Galveston, Beach. It was our gap year between college and beginning life. We used chicken necks and tied them to a rope and threw it out in the surf and pulled it in slow, and we caught a lot of crabs. You brought back my youth. Enjoy your time home and shear as much as possible. Thank you! Be safe!🙏♥️

[@eej1983able]

Awww i forgot about baby faced Peter! The beard definitely suits you

[@rmjames83]

Baby Peter!! Lol!!! Can’t believe I’ve been watching y’all that long!! Lol!!! 🤣😂🤣😂

[@mallorypaige9416]

Ollie is the most perfect, beautiful & well behaved dog! I need an Ollie clone, LOL

[@jmleeinla]

These videos are so special. So beautiful. They make me “feel” the ambiance of your day. Just filled with love and peace. Love you guys so much. I’m so thankful for trikafta Mary. For the blessing of being able to enjoy the glory of these days.

[@dianefitzpatrick4250]

Loved your vlog today! Memories,good food, and family! Can’t get any better than that!

[@hollyosgerby1901]

Fascinating video! I had absolutely no idea what all was involved in catching blue crabs. And bull lips as bait! I wonder who discovered that blue crabs were partial to bull lips?! Quite a haul you brought home and WHAT A FEAST!! Love that you had past memories to reflect upon as well. Much love to you all as you continue to enjoy your weekend together 🤗❤️❤️🙏🏼😘🐕🐱

[@JeriAnnHenson]

Oh my gosh you guys…memories come flooding back as I watch today’s vlog. I miss my Pop!

[@Nelle4ever]

That's really interesting, thanks for showing the whole process!

[@beverlyb5144]

Super COOL video!! I never really knew how crabbing was done. Thank you!!

[@patworfka143]

That simple, brief Mumma story breathed love into my heart. I loved that anecdote.

[@loulajohnson3429]

Beautiful Crabs and Sweet Family ❣️💗🌺

[@nicnaknoc]

lake crawfish parties in Sweden is my ultimate childhood summer memory ... seeing you peel the crabs had the smell, warmth, and LOVE from those memories just wash over me

[@melanie98d]

Love the sunrise!🧡

[@beverlysettle1084]

What a great day!! I loved being a part and hearing about your childhood, Peter. I can not relate at all, born and raised in Indiana and still live here. I have been a scuba diver and have had fresh crab, but had no idea how a trot line worked or any of that! And what a booty of 🦀! Yum! Thanks for taking me along!!!💕

[@kelseymills7171]

So this is a crazy small world. Our family’s house is in the background of you going out to crab. I want to say we have seen you this week going out but who knows. Either way it is a small world! Hope you enjoyed your trip. Our houses are neighbors pretty much hope you enjoyed the Choptank!

[@rremm4917]

Omg. My husband and I watched and reminisced. We moved to NC from MD 6year ago we miss crabbing. Enjoy your time with family and fun🥰.

[@elisaanderson1564]

I remember when you went crabbing with your brother back when!!

[@katherinecorbett7580]

Omg just saw the cutest. Adoption announcement... not doing the bump still pumped. Definitely you guys

[@sonialandry1039]

I remember the video you posted yrs back. Mary was able to take a spin on a jet ski- maybe? She was so excited and felt so free. As someone who is plant based…. I have to gloss over the whole “ Bull lips” thang….. 😬🙃🙀 such beautiful views and a beautiful place - wow!

[@kathyloomis3107]

Noooo I don’t want it to be over!!! It is so interesting.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@EpiphoneFan44]

I am Joe Frey's biggest fan.

[@shellyg5705]

I loved this 😊

[@bionicprincess8008]

WOW.... that was a lot of crabs. You guys are quite the crabbers, lol! I live in No VA so have spent some fun times at the eastern shore. Great memories 💗

[@elainehardy3502]

That was fun watching how to catch crabs. My husband would have enjoyed eating those.

[@sonialandry1039]

If it happens that you end in Nova Scotia 🇨🇦 one day….. the Frey life family from here could meet up and teach you how to prepare and eat lobsters like a Maritimer 🤓💝🦞🦞🦞

[@maddieadams75]

Looks like you enjoyed yourselves ♥️

[@dawnmontgomery5180]

Nice morning out on the water " fun time making memories

[@janicehellzen8765]

We are at SuicideBridge restaurant tonight looking out at the Choptank and I thought about you guys!

[@carolynlong9148]

That's cool how you fish for 🦀. Thanks for sharing you're day god bless.

[@BNHAalltheway]

Great vlog thanks for sharing You time with Your brother

[@fralinsandfriends]

That's a lot of crab. It looks so good. 👋😁💖

[@christylovetimmy5429]

That's not how I thought you were going to capture them.....very very cool how it was done....they looked so good.....

[@sidney3949]

Thanks so much for sharing ❤️

[@keeleycooper7296]

Lived in Maryland all my life and just moved to north Carolina ❤️ miss it there .

[@thirstyboots6711]

Eating steamed crabs with friends & family is one of my favorite Summertime activities. Love spending time talking and eating. Curious how long between catching & cooking the crabs. I was taught to keep them on ice.

[@kristenzerbst4108]

Oh yummmmmmmm

[@susiewashburn1821]

I grew up in Indian Head, MD. Every Friday night we went to Popes Creek for Crabs. So delicious and many great memories.

[@LaLaLaLaurel11]

My parents grew up in Maryland. I was raised in NC. Grew up going to Oak island every summer and we would go crabbing in the sound. We used rancid chicken neck (let it sit in the sun all day) tied on a rope and thrown out in the sound. You slowly pull it in and have someone else with a net scoop up the crabs. After a few years we bought some crab pots and started renting beach houses sound side with docks and we would put the chicken necks in the crab pots and throw them out in the sound.

[@jenniferbowie2773]

My favorite! Mmmm

[@bonnieletson3043]

Oh Yum!!!!!

[@VulcanOnWheels]

6:36 I do hope that Joe is alright and Peter...respect for your sacrifice, even if it was more than intended.

[@pattygailcreations3772]

What a wonderful day.

[@mmaddox45scarlett]

THANKS FOR THE BEAUTIFUL SUNRISE..................

[@amandamctyre8390]

I love Maryland crab 🦀

[@Hallz18]

WOW! That’s a lot of crabs! Good job! Do you eat them all??

[@JustBethTrying]

Once your adoption is finalized and now that your reason for moving to NC is no longer critical, do you think you will move back to Maryland?

[@cherylpedinoff3205]

The video for that one popped up. Cute.

[@lorisanford8515]

Oh boy that looks like fun its sad Joe got cut that's not fun I hope it heals Really fast and well That crab looks so good I haven't had crab in so long, I don't think I've ever had blue are those the ones they say that you can fry up or something like that and put in a sandwich and you can even eat the outer maybe it's a different type of blue grab I'm not sure. I'm glad you all had a good Day and had ots of fun together. Take care and God Bless 💗

[@paulatucker8005]

Are you getting fresh corn to go with it?

[@debradann9210]

Looks so good! But where on earth do you get bull lips! Hahaha!

[@jaytee2642]

From bulls!!😉

[@sasham6486]

Crabbing is fun

[@davelunaskitchen8355]

Peter, how do you get the line to sink to the bottom; didn’t see any weights?

[@thefreylife]

Forgot to show that part - we had weights and chain on each end of the trotline to keep it in place :)

[@lindaowens2966]

We tied a chicken neck to a string and sat on the sea wall at low tide and scooped them up in a fish net. Then Mom cooked them.

[@loveandbelovedtoo3777]

Thank you for the crabbing adventures…..brings back such memories for me. My grandma had family in DE and MD, and I grew up eating Maryland Blues since I was 5…..and her family would bring crabs and clams to Chicago in a hard-sided suitcase when they came to visit us. I’m a pretty good crab picker if I do say so myself! Old Bay 4 Ever! Cheering you on from Chicago! ♥️

[@TheBeccajb]

😊😊😊

[@katherinecorbett7580]

Sometimes bones looks so cute I forget he's real

[@shaunjamieson3416]

hi Mary and Peter enjoy am in Maryland

[@janicemichaloski5292]

Peter what is the age difference between you and your brother?

[@thefreylife]

8 years :)

[@jasongates-]

After 7:38 I would be in heaven if that was my meal.

[@cagedtigersteve]

The thing about eating crabs is that you need someone who knows how to pick'em at the picnic table with you. It's more of a skill than a meal.

[@nathantatosian280]

Hi Mary and peter

[@karenn993]

What? No sides?

[@gthornton3]

Good afternoon

[@jamiesingleton3909]

Odd you call it a trot line we call it a trout line here in Kansas…like trout the type of fish lol. Unless it’s different line

[@jaytee2642]

I'm wondering if it's a regional pronunciation thing, and it evolved from trout to trot over generations?

[@bconsilio3764]

Oh man! The best eatin’ around! Maryland Blue Crab and beer! (Sorry don’t mean to offend you.) It’s a rare day I have a beer and rarer yet with crabs! There is just some food that needs a cold one.

[@kaylabarnes]

You were completely bald bro.

[@kaylabarnes]

I forgot that phase actually, so that was actually a shock.

[@sandracoomber2107]

WOW! SHOW MORE VIDEO NOT TOO MUCH ON THE COOKING!

[@bst0506]
