Our Crawdad Feed

We had a fun adventure yesterday, hunting crawdads in a creek in Visalia. To start things off, we had a picnic lunch after church then headed for the creek. It was a beautiful day, perfect for a little exploring. Here we are going down to the creek and starting to hunt. Jaime caught the first crawdad and many more afterwards. It was creepy to be walking in a creek with a bunch of crawdads lurking about with their pinchers. Sometimes they would swim right by your foot and it was startling. Heidi seemed to attract them the most. There were a number of tunnels to go through and that was gross too because they smelled worse and it was dark so harder to see where you were stepping. But all our near death frights, cuts, and scrapes paid off and we caught 39 crawdads. We brought them home, rinsed and cooked them. Then we had a feast and it was delicious. We ate all 39, thanks to me because I ate the tails of the 4 rejects after dinner. All in all, it was a fun afternoon and a tasty dinner.
