St. Patrick's Day Crawfish Boil 2007

Hi yall,

Shane had his annual crawfish boil at my house this year. It was SO fun! Don't they look great? The photos with particularly good lighting and composition were taken by Kirk's friend. I'm sorry I forgot her name or I would give her credit here.

Cheers,
Charlotte

I think my hammock is eating people.

Thank you, Kirk, for cooking up the sausages and chickens!

And thank you everybody else who brought sides, especially Joni who couldn't make it but still sent along crab stuffed fish!

What St. Patrick's Day gathering would be complete without the traditional log toss competition....

....and the traditional regalia

Kirby completely surprised me! I had no idea she was flying in from Atlanta. She interviewed for a job that week and got it. She and Jimmy are moving back to Austin in June! Yea!

For those of you who've only heard me talk about this part of my circle of friends - that's me, Kirby, and Jim Lackett - not to be confused with Kirby's Jim Flores.

Dominic is getting his pinata strategy worked out. We used Lee's gigantic Guiness hat as the blindfold.

Lee also made a pinata for the "grown-ups" that had beer holders, tiny bottles of alcohol, and air fresheners for the car.

Thank you, Lee, for bringing the pinatas! They were really fun.
