So if you haven't heard anything on the news about our central texas heat I'll fill you in. This summer has had 68 days at 100 or above!! the record is 69 set in 1925. So yea 2 more days and this would have been the hottest summer but instead it is the 2nd hottest summer. A few days ago it started to rain. And I don't mean a few clouds of rain but it has been raining for the last 5 days straight pretty much. So we've had a bit of flooding because of the amount of rain in the short period of time but we so needed it. As I type this it's pouring rain again!! Ok it's been raining all day.
So there is a lake where my mother in law lives and behind her house is a runoff to the lake. Since we've had so much rain the runoff now kinda looks like a stream. Well the crawdad's have come out of the ground and from the lake and ventured up the runoff. I've seen crawdad's behind the house. Crazy but true. So I decided to catch a few to show Elly and let her enjoy them for a bit. So I caught 2 and brought them home and once Elly woke up from her nap we played with them. One was kinda old I think and didn't care much for us so I could pick him up no problem and hold him and show Elly. The other one was younger and reactive. Even looking at him from above or moving my hand and it immediatly put its claws up to defend itself. It was quite funny because he would fall over backwards doing this! I took a few pics of us with the crawdad's!
