Calvin and the Crayfish

Recent rains have brought lots of new friends to the creek in our backyard.

Crayfish is kinda hard to pronounce and I wasn't sure it was any more correct than crawdad, but we went with crayfish instead.

The boy still knows no fear, especially when it comes to handling living things such as cicadas, pillbugs, frogs, june bugs, and now crayfish.

It made for a really fun trip to the Asian market since crawfish are now in season. We're a little concerned that the boy may end up going foraging for food in our backyard.

Between the crawfish, ducks, and the spring vegetable garden we have planted, we may end up living off the land sooner than we thought!



Yeah. The boy ain't right.



I think he gets it from his mother.

Awesome - playing with crawdads was one of my favorite activities as a kid. We used to catch them with pieces of raw bacon tied to a string.
