crawfish

Last weekend we had a crawfish boil with our family.  It was a lot of fun!  In the past we’ve just bought them already boiled, but this year we did it ourselves.  By “we” I mean Brent and Johnny, and they did a great job.  I just took the photos as usual. The kids loved checking them out.

Everyone enjoyed eating them.  They were spicy and delicious and we had a lot of them.  You can’t take photos and peel crawfish at the same time so I had to put my camera down for a while.

Here’s a pic I scanned in of Johnny showing Mason how to eat crawfish ten years ago when he was three.

So I made sure to get a photo of Mason and his Uncle Johnny with their crawfish again.

    I haven't had crawfish in like 15 years - but they look really yummy.

    Lovely photos - love the third and last shots especially but you did a great job capturing a fun family event. I have never been to a crawfish boil, something I really must do!

    Hi Deb

    I could never eat those but your photos are great of the fish and the corn cobs. You all look as if you had a wonderful time.

    how fun, we visited New Orleans a few years ago and they served us a crawdad boil down at a little place in the old farmers market. It was so fun when they brought the pot and dumped it on our table. loved your shots. Kaye—the road goes ever ever on

    Oh my gosh- first my kids would be so excited to see those & get to pick them up. Then my hubs would be super excited to eat all that- he loves it. The kids do too- but all around they would have been in heaven.

    Having craw fish gets together reminded me of the time I lived in New Orleans. This looks so divine!
