I had to start with these first two pics just because! I miss the Great Oaks of Louisiane! :)
In my husband's family our Easter meal is Crawfish! I've watched all the cousins have their first crawfish boil, the first time they saw a live crawfish. The giggles and the yikes! I was thrilled to see my kids finally join in with this tradition. They called them 'the snappers' for awhile. Now they know they are called crawfish (and spelled crayfish - which doesn't make sense to me). Here is PawPaw opening the first bag.
" What is that PawPaw??" PawPaw patiently explained the routine but HC and JB wanted those crawfish to be far away from them at first.
Here they are rinsing off the crawfish. JB kills me with his hand in his pocket! He loves to do big things like Daddy!
We had to really promise the crawfish would not bite them. They did NOT want to take any chances!
JB finally HAD to hold one himself!
PawPaw and Daddy dumping the crawfish into the sink so they can soak for awhile!
EWWW Can we watch the crawfish?!
We will post the finished products on tomorrow's post!! Believe me, the final pics are so good (unless crawfish gross you out)!

Please let's eat crawfish together some time! Robert and I LOVE LOVE LOVE crawfish! We had many a dates eating crawfish together! YUM, do the kids eat it??
Mmmm! I love crawfish! Can't wait to see tomorrow's pics.
I'm loving the Louisiana pics, by the way... I'd love to visit there!
Never did get over the eyeballs looking at me. Can't do crawfish. I think I've had ONE in my life. I hear they're great, though.
I mean, how can it not be good...sucking the stuff out of their heads. Yum! ;)
Oh, and I think it is hilarious that you guys eat them with gloves on! Dainty southerners! Ha! I LOVE it! It is practical, though! :) :) :)
