Payson, AZ


We took a little day trip to Payson to go fishing.





Jonas did not catch this fish. He pestered the guy fishing next to us, so the guy let him hold the fish he caught







We didn't catch any fish, but we did catch a bunch of rather large crawdads, crayfish, mudbugs, or whatever you want to call them. So much more fun than fishing for fish.


Jonas loved it! He insisted on being the one to pick them up off the ground after we pulled them out of the water and then put them in the cooler. He's crazy, brave, or just doesn't get that those little pincher hurt like hell.

We brought them home and made a yummy Southern Dinner. Boiled Crayfish, Savannah Red Rice and Fried Okra.

The little buggers were surprisingly tasty and the kids loved the whole process, tormenting them in the sink while they awaited their demise, helping dad toss them in the pot, and playing with the claws after they ate the tails. Morbid, but fun.
