Annual Crawfish Boil

live crawfish. this is one of the three bags painstakingly obtained for us to eat, they are in the baby pool to be cleaned before boiling.

beth kept a very safe distance at first.

she wasn't so sure about them...flipping their tails around in the water, pinchers opening and closing, frantically trying to escape before the slaughter...

luke, on the other hand, was too little to know any better. he'd have grabbed it and stuck it in his mouth had we let him.

beth always has such a great time on the tree swing with her uncles!

luke's first beer?

spending time with uncle matthew. luke had such a great day with everyone wanting to hold and play with him!

we had an easter egg hunt with plastic eggs, i guess this was beth's first real hunt. she got into it after awhile, and we spent the rest of the afternoon re-hiding her eggs so she could hunt them all over again. they had chocolate in them that somehow magically disappeared after beth left her basket alone.

got one!

luke took a nap in his sling so i could enjoy some yummy mud bugs. this is also the last time i saw my sling- it has been MIA since last saturday and i am missing it terribly!!!

while beth got closer to the crawfish as the day went on, she still refused to try them and happily enjoyed a grilled hot dog and some sausage instead.
