Craydad hunting






















We returned to McDowell Creek County Park after our visit last year. We hiked up the creek in search of crayfish, but in between spotting the crustaceans, we got warm in the sun, found beautiful fungi on logs along the water, and came upon an old rowboat. Also, we caught 5 crayfish. Michael and I alternated between calling them "crayfish" and "crawdads." It confused Eli enough that at the end of the day, he was calling them "craydads." Given his locavore/eat-off-the-land bent, Eli convinced us to bring them home to cook. They are now frozen in his lunchbox in our freezer.
