Crayfish Boil 2015

Every year, The Anesthesiology program at UTMB throws a crayfish boil party.  We missed last year but were able to go the year before and this year.  I like that there is lots of free food, drinks plus swimming and a bounce house for the kids! I don't like that I don't care to socialize with anybody there, but as along as free food (hamburgers and hotdogs too!) is involved I'll tolerate the awkwardness of eating practically by myself. 
This isn't the first crayfish experience, but since I am not a southerner I still find eating crayfish unsettling.  I don't like having to rip apart a dead animal carcass just to get to a little tiny piece of meat.  Yuck.  And I don't like looking at the eyes or the creepy legs.  But, the meat is good.  It would be a much better experience if someone did the {dirty} work for me! 
The kids loved the bounce house and the pool.  We left not too long before the drunk residents got to the bounce house and pool area. 

 

 

 

The kids played in the pool for a long time! They had lots of fun :)

My sweet Ian, 3 months old.  Erik enjoyed showing him off to all of his co-workers.

^this is what Gabe thought of the crayfish.  I told him I'd give him money if he tried one.  He still refused!
