Hinckley for the 24th!

So, for the 24th of July, we went up to Utah, yet again, for the parade and rodeo in Hickley! They kept the parade short and the rodeo was so much fun! Gabrielle even rode a sheep and Abby did the money calf. All the kids ages 9-12 get out there and chase around 6 poor calves that are devorated with money! Gabrielle got a cool t-shirt for riding a sheep too!


The next day, the Austins took us Craw Dadding (spelling?) at a resivoir near their house! That was so much fun! First, you cast a raw chicken leg attached to a string into the resivoir and wait about 5 minutes. When you pull it out you usually have like 6 craw dads on it! They're kind of like shrimp, I think. When you catch as many as you need (we got hundreds! Marc told us that last time they went they caught 800! They didn't keep them all.=D), you literally break them in half and pull out their "poop cord." You keep the tail end, cook that, and eat it. Ya, its that gross. I didn't try it, but the people that did said it tasted like lobster. Catching them is fun though. Its definitely worth trying.




Afterwards, we all went back to Marc and Tami's where we ate dinner(ahem...craw dads) and hung out...
