We had so much fun on Sunday at the Love Bug Crawfish Boil in Dallas at the Barley House! It was a great afternoon with family, friends old and new, and a LOT of crawfish (and a fair amount of beer too!). The crawfish, provided by LA Blue Crab and cooked up by Heads or Tails Crawfish, had their own cult following. I am not kidding y'all! People came to the event just to eat this duo's crawfish. Apparently they follow the truck around every weekend. They were all very happy to donate to LLS for the chance to get their hands on some of these mudbugs! It was awesome! The turn out was great which translates into $$$ for LLS! A huge thank you again to my cousins Erin and Graham Upton who organized the whole event, rallied their friends to come out and support us, and for just generally being awesome enough to want to do all of this! Here are some pics from the day!
Rolling in hot to Dallas! Quick day trip!
The Barely House
Super tough bouncers!
They had a crane system that allowed them to cook and move 400lbs of crawfish at a time!
YUM!!!
TerTer wanted to know who the first person to try a crawfish was?!? Ha! Not sure it was her most favorite thing she's ever eaten.

My college friend Jamie Crofford, who is a survivor of Hodgkin's Lymphoma, and his sweet son Wesley.
Katie Irwin was our counselor at Laity Lodge Family Camp last summer and is now a nurse in Dallas! My kids are going to be really jealous they missed her!
Working hard for our money!
Graham and Erin had even put together some great items for a raffle!
TerTer and me. Terry was my mom's best friend growing up, and when my mom and dad started dating, she asked if my dad had a brother! Sure enough, my dad did, and the rest is history!!
Thanks again to everyone who made this event possible, and who bought tickets and came out to support us! It really was so much fun! Also, tickets are still on sale for the Friends and Family Roll and Bowl, but are going very quickly so snatch them up now while their still available!! Also, please consider donating to my campaign if you have not already! All of this money goes straight to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society which is fighting so hard against blood cancers! Every dollar makes a difference!
