Crawdads

Jeff went fishing last week and brought home a bucket full of crawdads.


The girls were very intrigued.


Brookie going in for a closer look.


Dad showing them how the crawdad can hold a pencil with his claw.


Aubrey had to try to give the crawdad a pencil.


Success!


Of course, Brooke had to try too.

When Jeff was first showing the girls the crawdads his friend mentioned that Jeff was going to eat them. Aubrey's face was priceless. A look of confusion and disgust! She didn't say anything about it until a few hours later. Before bed she asked to see the crawdads again and then said to Jeff, "Are you really going to eat the crawdads." When Jeff replied that he was she asked, "Aren't they going to hurt your tummy?" I love seeing the world through a 3 year olds eyes. Too funny!

That night Jeff cooked them and ate them. The next morning Brooke saw the bucket they were in on the counter. She pointed at it and said "more". She wanted to see the crawdads again. I told her they were all gone. Later she saw the bucket again and said "more." So this time I decided to show her that they were gone. When I set the bucket down on the floor next to her she kind of jumped. I think she was a little afraid of the crawdads!
