4th of July at Strawberry Reservoir

We went camping this weekend at Strawberry Reservoir with Brian's brother Brent and his family, JR O'Neil (a friend from Brian's work) and his family, and JR's brother and his family. We spent the weekend boating, fishing for crawdads and fish and just relaxing. We all had a blast and can't wait until the next camp out.
I was so glad we brought the kids bikes. The practically spent the whole weekend on them.
Paislee and her sandbox/fire pit we weren't using. ha ha
Brady and Zach
JR and Trish
The kids asleep after a tiring day at camp=)
Brady realizing just how cold the water was=)
The first of many crawdads the guys caught.
A little raw chicken= A lot of crawdads=)
Every time paislee was anywhere near the crawdads she was saying "cared" (scared=)
Tyler giving the sign to go faster!
JR's daughters Reatta and Gracie. Krissa had a blast playing with these two cute girls.
That's right people, that's me in the tube with Brady. I toughed it out even though the water was only 62 degrees. It was like someone throwing a cup of ice water at you. But it was still really fun! Even though I had to hold Brady's little hands down so he would stop making the sign to go faster. Slow was fine with me=)
I asked Paislee if she wanted to take a nap and she said yes. I laid her down and she went right to sleep. I don't think she has ever agreed to a nap before=)
Got love that cute face=)

I don't think I've seen a crawdad before. What are they and what do you do with them?? Do you eat them? Looks like a great weekend.
