Crawdad feast

So it is funny to be back where I started a year ago. Last year I began my blog with an entry in April about the NASA DX crawdad feast and today I am back where I started. The kids again this year had a great time and managed to take home one of the only alive crawdads from the feast. Last year we managed to keep it alive for the 5 months+, when it was under our care. This year this one is named "Rocky" and it is already settled into the cage we have ready for it. The kids decided it was a boy.
After all the craziness of the flood this weekend it was nice not to have to prepare dinner for one night and be able to go to a place where the Shiner Bock flowed FREE. I definitely had my share of it. The evening was a minimal cost for our family of 5 to attend, and I know for sure Akorren ate his weight in crawdads. they had a bounce house and all the food we could eat. It was a blessing in that it was great diversion from all the reality of the big life stuff that we have been dealing with over the past week. As a busy an now mostly working mom I enjoyed the break. Here are the kids with our new family member, Rocky.
