Crawfish Boil

Today was the school's annual Crawfish boil. Blake took Max, Andy, and Bri while I stayed home with a napping Jack. I would have bet for sure that Max would hate the entire thing, but I would have been wrong. He only hated part of it. When Blake showed him the live crawfish, he freaked out. In true Max animal-hating form, he did not want to touch them or be near them. But when he saw Blake eating some, he asked if he could try some and never turned back. He loved it. I guess it's okay to touch if the animal is cooked. He was cracking shells and scooping out poop like a pro. His Daddy is so proud and I'm happy Blake has someone to accompany him next year.

I'm with Max, if we really saw half of what we ate, we wouldn't want it! Way to go guys!

Great photos of everyone!

that had to be some fast-talking or acting on daddy blake's part to get that 180 turn on max's part. i would've liked to have been there to witness and hear that.
