Annual Crawfish Boil

Yesterday was the long anticipated Crawfish Boil
thrown by our church each year on the Sunday
of Memorial Day Weekend.
*Check out the link to meet Mr. Boudreaux.
If you've never been to a Crawfish Boil
then read on and I'll show you what you've been missing.

First the tents are set up,
cause' come rain or shine
people have come to eat!

Almost a ton of these stinky, disgusting
mud bugs/crawfish are catered to the site.
The crawfish are boiled up with corn on the cob
and tiny new potatoes. When it comes to
crawfish it's a love or hate thang.
Can you guess how I feel about this?

If crawfish just doesn't do it for you then you can choose from Burgers

Or, Hotdogs?

**Guess which I ate?**

There were LOTS of bouncies set up all across the church lawn, most had a water feature with them. The kids (big & little) wear swimsuits and take to these like "crawfish to water". They usually all go home sunburnt (despite the sunblock)and exhausted from all the fun.

AND

Great down-home fun on the Bayou!

BTW,
I ate a hotdog, cause I'm a germaphoeb
and I figure hotdogs do well in the
Louisiana sunshine.

Some of my friends even spread the vicious rumor that I was seen eating Cotton Candy.
Imagine that!
Me, the sophisticated person I am, eating that gooey, sticky, yummy, HIGH calorie Cotton Candy with the kids.
HUMPH!
(it was really good!)
