It was fun. I need to render the pics into tinypic so I can share them
here! It was a birthday party. Crawfish, BBQ sausages, boiled potatoes
and corn on the cob were the main menu items. Other items were pot luck
brought by the invitees.

They did steamed a bunch of hot dogs for the kids that were not
interested in the crawfish.

We also did a bunch of skeet shooting. <g>

Great "redneck" party!

The crawfish were brought in live from Louisiana by one of the party
goers via arrangements with the host.
