Henry Can't Eat Crawfish Yet ...

... but he sure wanted to. It's hard to eat crawfish with one hand, so everyone took turns holding Henry. He proved to be a fantastic traveller and the life of the party. You can see how happy he is here, really the party animal with his floppy hat.


I just had to throw in the picture below -- I saw him bike by.  He was too busy to stop for crawfish (we offered).

Crawfish Boil!

More New Orleans pictures.

Another highlight of our trip to see Robert & Linda in New Orleans was a crawfish boil, held in a neighborhood near the Jazz Fest grounds. Robert boiled 140 pounds of crawfish, so there was just enough for Nora (next to edamame and mac & cheese, crawfish is her favorite food). It was really neat to see Nora bravely playing with live crawfish along with the little boys and then trying her best to be helpful during the food prep.

Getting ready to dump the kettle.
Everyone got their own pan of food. There weren't many chairs, so most folks sat at the curb.
Afterwards, Nora and Robbie supervised the cleanup efforts.  Nora really got busy, and totally enjoyed it.
