Annual Cephus Crawfish Boil
One word FUN! I love and try to attend every crawfish boil my uncle Nat and aunt Tina host. This year was Anthony's first time and he was ready! So we made plans to follow my uncle on his way back to Victoria after work on Friday around 3pm. We got home a bit after 3pm and my uncle was waiting. We got our bags and dogs and got in the car. About 3 hours later we were in Victoria, TX at my uncle's 10 acres. As soon as you arrive you RELAX. That night we settled and helped get ready for Saturday when all the guest would arrive. In all honesty, we did have a trial run with the crawfish and crabs; and it was good just having fun conversation with family. Dana was so excited to be with family she couldn't sleep so the next morning we didn't wake until 9:30am! Which is late for Dana, normally working hours are 7:30am to 9pm. Anyhoo, several of our cousins had made it in from Houston, Atlanta, Katy, etc and more kept coming, my father arrived with my sister and brother-in-law who drove in from Louisiana. I was very happy to see them however my mom couldn't attend and she was very missed. When everyone arrived it was a good time to be had by all we visited, talked, danced, sang, ate and drink. The scene was circles of family getting back in touch, children playing, and dogs running. We didn't want the night to end even though my eyes were starting to close. It was hard to say goodbye and end a great day. So we headed to bed. The next morning a few family members where still around, we ate breakfast and then had to head home as Anthony needed to be at work at 6pm. We really enjoyed ourselves from the drive there to the drive back. Just a great weekend!
