Wordless Wednesday is hosted by Dixie of http://frenchlique.blogspot.com/. Please visit Dixie and everybody on her list of participants. Today's theme is still life or April Fools.I messed up and posted my son and his fish but it will qualify for an outdoor Wed. too.I'll just post another picture. Here is a still life. I painted this in oil and it's hanging in our family room. I copied it from a picture I saw in a book.
Below is Jed, my son, my oldest child and he's always loved fishing since he was young. He looks pretty proud here with his big grouper (at least that's what I think it is.) 
Yep, it's Outdoor Wednesday, hosted by Susan of http://asoutherndaydreamer.blogspot.com/. Let's go visit her too and check out all the awesome outdoor posts.
Every year, we get invited to an outdoor crawfish party. Last Saturday was the day and as usual, we had a lot of fun. As you can see, these guys are busy cooking lots and lots of crawfish in humongous pots. Do you see more crawfish in bags behind them?
I asked the guy if I could take over so I can have my picture taken. He was happy to oblige. LOL!
Now that they are cooked, the guy spreads them on the table while they are still steaming hot.
No need for tablescaping here. All you need is the table, a paper table cover and your hands. LOL!

With the crawfish are corn, mushrooms, sausage, potatoes, sweet potatoes and onions.
Jumbo crawfish, yummy!
And here you see eveybody grab a spot on the table eating away. Do you see me there at the end?
My mom's enjoying her spicy corn. They cook everything altogether so everything is spicy.
While we were enjoying eating the crawfish, 2 little boys kept calling John to help them climb on the rope so they can slide from tree to tree.
There goes one!
Oh no! All the crawfish are gone, no more for John, just when he is ready to eat! LOL! Actually, there are more coming but we had to leave to go to church.
I hope you enjoyed my Wordless Tues. and Outdoor Wed. contributions. Thanks to Dixie and Susan for these fun events.

I hope you enjoyed my Wordless Tues. and Outdoor Wed. contributions. Thanks to Dixie and Susan for these fun events. I have to also tell you that I will be gone for about 10 days. I have to keep going on trips to keep up with my Sightseeing Saturday posts, LOL! We are going on a Western Caribbean cruise. If time permits, I will post in advance and schedule their publishing but I probably won't be able to comment. The internet service in the ship is very slow and it drives me crazy. I will try to catch up when I get back. I hope you all have a great week!

Wow! I love your oil painting. It’s just beautiful. The colors are serene. You definitely have talent and an eye! I have never been to a crawfish boil. My brother-in-law used to have them all the time when he lived in New Orleans. It looks like a lot of fun.
Kate
Morning, Sweet Christine! Oh, what a wonderful time this must have been. Your son is so handsome and I can see how very proud he was of catching that awesome fish.
Now, Dear One, you are just the prettiest little thing ever! I love your gorgeous little face and your smile is beautiful!
Your pictures of the crab boil are amazing! Looks like a movie.
Be a sweetie and it's so nice to get to connect to my sweet friends again,
Shelia :)
Hi Christine,
Hope you have a great time on your cruise!
We are going to a crawfish boil in LA in April...yours looks like fun!
I hope you have a wonderful time and have lots of fun! Love he big fish and you don't look your age! What are you 20 something?
Christine, I loved reading this post, and there is nothing I love MORE than crawfish! My siter lived in Lousiana for many, many years, and her husband and I would get a huge grocery sack of boiled crawfish, sit at the table, and polish them off between the two of us! LOL! Loved seeing all the pics of your family, too! :-)
Have a great time on your cruise! Your sweet spirit will be missed. Thanks so much for praying for DiDi. She got out of the hospital and is still frail and needs prayer, so if you can remember her in your prayers, that would be wonderful! Thanks and God bless you...
XO,
Sheila :-)
Super enjoyment....
