What in the...

On our morning walk my lil' Sis Brookie and I found a little creature, one and such as we have never before seen on a morning walk. How it got into the middle of the road no one will ever know. We tried to talk him into getting out of the road, but he didn't understand us. After returning from our walk and having heart healthy whole wheat pancakes with lots of butter and syrup we took the kids to find our new friend, hoping he wasn't smashed. In two hours he had traveled quite a distance! We took a minute for a quick photo with the kids, and then rescued him from the road and delivered him to a little swampy area at the local park, where I'm sure some naughty boys will fish him out and torture him till he dies.

Good luck in your new home our crawdad friend!

I'm glad you girls did your good deads for the day---walking--healthy eating(almost) rescuing! You must have been being brave--I mean that's kinda like a huge, hard spider WITH PInCHERS!!!!! What were you thinking??!!!
Be at peace--you rescued one of gods creatures.

My boys would have been so excited to see that. They always make me walk by the live lobsters in the water tank at the grocery store.

He looked quite big, how big was he?

That is so nice of you to rescue it, either Jason was with you or you made Grady come and pick it up. Now you're kids are going to want to stop by everyday and find it.

Thanks to all of you who think I am the new super woman. It was only about 6 inches long, and not too feisty, I think it was about half dead. We scooped it up by the tail into a grocery bag, and quickly drove to the park and dumped it in. Not too heroic, but the kids loved the adventure!

Ainsley wanted to pick it up, but got scared when she touched it and everyone screamed! So, we got it with the bag...she also forgot to add that there was NO water for miles around...what in the....
