Crawfish Boil 2010

This past Saturday we had our 3rd Annual Crawfish Boil to celebrate TAG & Josh’s (our brother-in-law) Birthdays. The weather ended up getting pretty nasty but it didn’t stop us from boiling some crawfish. It never got too bad where we were but there was a tornado that touched down within 10 miles of us & another that was about 15 miles away. I am so thankful it didn’t get too bad. Despite the storms we had a great time!

  

The kids found a mud hole so we let them play.

 

Part of the crowd.

We walked across the street to the park for a little while too.

Third outfit of the day & in the mud again! After this time we just let them play in their diapers.

Sunday was the worst of the storms for our area. While TAG & Josh were cleaning up, the rain started pouring & in a matter of 30 minutes it was rushing in the car port & their yard was nowhere to be seen.  TAG took the kids & me to Josh’s parents’ house down the road because they live up on a hill, then came back to help Josh & Brooke get things like their deep freeze & grill to higher ground. They also began to prepare to move things to the attic if need be.  The water rose to about 10 or so inches & the creek behind their house overflowed completely. Luckily, it started slacking off after too long & the water dropped a good bit. I know this is nothing compared to the tragedy in Nashville, but it sure was scary.

I snapped these pictures before the water got real high. It was probably 6 or so inches deep out in the yard at this time.

All of the people affected by these storms & floods are still in our prayers!
