Camping and Crawfish


This weekend we went out to Circle 7 for the 2nd Annual Crawfish boil. As usual we were looking forward to lots of family, friends and fun for the weekend! This year we rented a camper so there would be plenty of space for us and the girls could nap throughout the day.  The camper was great and perfect for the weekend and I'm sure we'll be going on some more weekend adventures with it.

We arrived in Centerville about 6:00 pm Friday night before the bad weather hit. Luckily we made 20 minutes before heavy rain, half of golf ball sized hail and a possible tornado that was in the area! Scary!!! After the bad weather we sat outside in the patio area and enjoyed good food, Texas music and visiting with friends.

Saturday, the day of the boil 420 pounds of Louisiana’s finest crawfish were boiled with potatoes, onions, sausage and even some jalapenos! Ah-ee!! Mmm...Mmm...so very good! While the crawfish were cooking, Addison learned how to fish for the first time. She had so much fun and pretty much spent the entire morning down at the pond casting and fishing. I see a fishing pole in her future that's for sure! The rest of the day was spent riding the mule around the property, Ashley swinging under a shade tree, riding her tricycle, Jason participating in the annual bocce ball tournament and eating our weight in crawfish. Once the sun went down and the kids were in bed the fun continued by the bonfire...

Thanks as always to the Evans and Alaniz families for sharing their property with all of us! We had a fabulous time and we look forward to next year!
