Harris Crawdad festival 09

Brad and I had a crawdad boil at our place last night - it had been planed for a month so we had J out the house for the weekend which has been great since it really was not a child friendly event! Lots of sun, drinks, music and great company just hanging out at the house. Brad and George got to show off their brew master skills - with 4 kegs on tap of their latest brews, plus we had Matt's hard apple cider (aka how to get drunk in 3 seconds cider). There was no beer left by the end of the night, all kegs dry as bones and some VERY happy chilled out guys and girls singing in the garage to Josh's acoustic guitar concert. Enjoy the pics.


Our first batch of crawdads early on the afternoon - we had 100 pounds so did a fair few batches! They were delicious but a lot of work for very little meat! The bugs were brought over by some people from the other side of the State who also pretty much cooked them for us too in exchange for beer.

Jen and a very preggo me.

Pat and Elizabeth - thanks for all your help guys! couldn't have pulled it off without you!

too cute shoes

throwing washers - why is it that men can play this game for HOURS and not get bored?

Courtney and Jen doing some sort of Indian tribal dance. It was late, and they are drunk :)
For some reason, despite the prettiest twinkle lights out back, and all the chairs out back - everyone seems to migrate to the garage - happens every time we have anyone over, one person or twenty. It is a damn fine garage though.
who's been sleeping in my bed? George in the top bunk.
