We'll go down to the crawdad hole

Sunday night we went down to Crooked Creek to collect crawdads. The boys didn’t get a lot but what they did get would be on the lunch menu come Monday.

80 foot tall Platanus occidentalis, also known as American sycamore

The catch of the day

Add crawdads to seasoned water

Go a head jump in with your friends the water's perfect

I'll get you for this! I'm going to call PETA!

Whose going to be first?

Hank was the brave soul

Then everyone jumped in

Tastes like lobster

That was fun but not enough.

Let's build us a trap and get more!

A little R & R at Kelly's Slab

Peaceful easy feeling kinda place

Hitching a ride

Ole blue eyes ... which one?

You call them sea shells?

You could be my cowgirl anytime

Risky Business

Sometimes he needs to be sedated

The happy couple

The rain clouds that don't share :(

The first swim of the season

A week or so ago Judith took the kids down to Crooked Creek to beat the heat and enjoy the creek.

So happy!

Getting ready for a swim

Collecting shells

Hanging in the deep end

I remember it as though it was tomorrow

These photos were taken last August at Crooked Creek during the heat wave and I thought it would be nice being that’s its 34 degrees outside to reminisce about warmer days and what we have to look forward to this coming summer.
