Crawfish Boil 2009

We had our first "annual" Crawfish Boil this weekend... what a fun time and yummy food! Here is the play by play!

We "borrowed" Allie's swimming pool to keep the Crawfish contained-- she probably will not be getting it back:

The Sort:
Washing (after they added salt to make the crawfish THROW UP the mud in their bellies!):

The Guys-- the girls took a quick peek, but let the men do the dirty work:

The Girls-- poor Holly got stuck chopping onions and bell peppers for the dirty rice and I outsourced Luke's bottle to Leah-- these girls are wonderful!:

The "Dead Ones" (see cooler):

Boiling-- I could hear the little boogers squealing as they hit the water:


The End Result-- Well worth the effort!:

Oh, NO he did NOT suck the head!!!

Ah--Done.

I am completely bitter that we weren't invited! The only couple from Louisiana in our Sunday School class, and no crawfish for us! I'm kidding, sounds like you had fun.
