Howie and Olivia checking out the first catch.
Olivia was shrieking and squealing with delight every time it moved.
we then started exploring up and down the creek. we found some fun stuff, a rustic bridge and cabana, as well as some deeper parts fun for swimming and nice waterfall.
our three beauties, hand caught (next time we will have a net!),
pre boiling water.
in you go...
look at that amazing crimson color! they look much better cooked.
Howie refused to try it. There was only about three quarter sized pieces of meat from all that shell, from all three crawdads. I tried it and it wasn't bad. Tommy really loved it and wants to go again and get a lot for dinner! Anyone game?

an alternative to using a net and super fun. get a long stick, tie some fishing line to the end and then tie a chunk of raw bacon to the end of the string and put on a weight so the bacon sinks. when you lower it into the water the craw dads will latch on and you just have to lift them out. its tons of fun and way better than fishing my 5 yr old says
yeah I am game let us know! hee hee! We caught some while in Missouri but not even close to your size. Not really eatable.
It's good to see pictures of the family. I miss you guys. Tommy, what's up with the lamb chops!!!!
P.S. That would be fun, the exlporing and the catching...but I'm with Howie, I wouldn't eat any either!
Yay! So glad you made it - we were so bummed we couldn't go with you! The water looks like it has gone down a bunch since we went in June! We are going to try to make it again before it closes the end of August!
