{cajun} seafood medley

May 2012- When my parents came for Brazos' birthday party they brought these with them.  

It is sort of an unwritten law that they can't cross the state line to visit me in May without them.

These too.

Even though the night before a birthday party at our house really isn't the best time to boil crawfish we do it anyway.  

MiMi and Pecos playing with the live crawfish.

After Pecos saw Paw Paw get pinched, it took a bit of coaxing to get him to hold one.

The crabs were so cold they hardly moved so it was a bit easier to get him to pick up one.

A few of my favorite Cajuns...and a cowboy.

This is what we devoured.

Pecos loved the crabs.  But he can't exactly crack and pick them himself.  We're going to have to work on that.

Brazos loved the corn.  

Paw Paw just loved being here.

Meanwhile, in the back yard the smoke monster was raging and working wonders on a brisket for the birthday party.  This is a true fusion of my two worlds.
