Crawdad Sunday

Sunday we went crawdad hunting and caught 4 crawdads and a bunch of fish! These photos tell our story...

































Samantha was in awe of these little creatures. I took lots of photos of her
watching over them.










Brad was on the other side of the lake when he caught another fish. He had Sam transport the fish in her hand to our bucket. This is her running as if the little fishes life depended on her. It was hilarious!










































Brad offered Emily a crawdad and all we heard was "Ewwwww!"












The kids wanted to bring them home with us. (At first the girls wanted to cook them, which seemed weird!) Anyway, we told the kids that they might die if we move them from their natural habitat. Once we got them home we made a little home for them in one of Jack's old food bowls.




Then it was time for Joe to eat dinner and he couldn't do it while the crawdads were in the kitchen. (those of you who know Joe remember that he grosses out at things like this easily) So, I moved the crawdads to the front porch while he ate.
About 30 minutes later, Joe went out to see them and one of them was gone! So, we all started our search party on the front lawn, careful to not step on the little guy. Then Samantha yells "HE'S IN THE STREET!" And there he was in the middle of the street! So, we moved him back with his friends and hopped in the car and took them back to the pond. And that is our happy ending!
