Crawfish Party!

Corey's friend from Mississippi invited us out to Clayton, NC 

for a traditional, southern crawfish party. I know NOTHING about crawfish, and I certainly knew nothing about a crawfish party prior to attending the gathering. I was frightened when I realized that our hosts had purchased huge boxes of LIVE crawfish and would be boiling them at the party. The whole idea behind spending that much time and energy on a food item is beyond me. Especially since, you only eat a small pinch of the fish. However, it was a memory that we wont soon forget. 

The crawfish are alive, yikes!

 



These ones are cooked, and flavored just right!

 



This guy was trying to scare the kids with the live crawfish. :)

 



This was our amazing cook!

 



These guys spent hours around the crawfish just talking and eating.

 



Jack and Adelynn perfected their "corn-hole" skills.

 



I met and fell in love with these triplets, I couldn't get enough of them! I went home feeling so sad that I don't get to watch my twin nieces grow up, because they are so far away. : (

 



I didn't have the patience to eat much crawfish,

 but the potatoes and corn were great!
