Crawdad's and Watermelon

Summer is coming to an end...
It scares me how fast it went by!
This last weekend we went camping with some friends and tried to slow it down and enjoy our last few summer days! 

The shore lines were filled with CRAWDADS! We had never seen one in person before and the kids had a BLAST catching them!
They caught over 70 in ONE day!
 I knew they would have fun catching them but what about EATING them??


YUP! 
not only did he COOK them but also ATE it!
Ethan was the only one brave enough out of my kids to try it!
He said "it's delicious - just like crab"
lol he wouldn't eat a second so maybe it wasn't quite as good as he exclaimed but I am SO proud of him for trying it! 

And what's more SUMMER than WATERMELON?
my kids LOVE it - they can eat a whole one on their own in one sitting! 




This is our LAST week of summer together and it's breaking my heart already to know it is SO close to an end!
I know we will be off adventuring this week to make the most of our last few days!
What will you be up to?

  1. I'm from Louisiana and we eat crawfish here!! LOVE!!!!
    There is a process though:
    1~ soak them in salt water, they throw up all the mud/nasty
    2~boil in a stick of butter and crab boil
    3~break off tail and enjoy with sauce (mayo, mustard, ketchup, tabasco sauce)
    ~~ things you can add to the boil:
    potatoes
    corn
    onions
    mushrooms
    sausage

    I think they are better then crab the claws are my favorite
