Eighty One

We recently celebrated Papa's eighty first birthday.  In addition to fish with all the trimmings, Reed boiled crawfish.  I still haven't gotten my nerve up to try one, but those that did said they were great!  I always enjoy family get-together's.  Every time one ends, I wonder why we don't do it more often!

Getting the crawfish ready!  Bless their little hearts!

Family Time

I feel I must say that Grandmother was not eating crawfish, but everyone else around the table quickly made over 40 punds disappear!

The cousins enjoyed swimming before and after eating.  Maddie was a little unsure of the "big kids" games.  She was mostly happy just watching.

Now, a little about the crawfish cooker-Reed took a truck rim, a burner from an old hot water heater, and an old pot and created this!  It did a wonderful job!  I have lots of plans for his latest creation!
