When we went through Aransas Pass to get to Rockport, we kept seeing signs for a “Shrimporee“, so we googled it. It is a festival (61 years and counting) with carnival rides and games, food, shows and fun. We were SO there! I was really hoping for a guy dressed in a shrimp costume, but we didn’t see one. Cassie was still a little sore about the whole “kissing her Daddy” thing, so I thought I could win her back over by bribing her with carnival games. 4 small stuffed animals later, I think she forgives me.
I have some other pictures to share of the parade, but for now, here are some things from the shrimporee grounds:
My niece, Marie, tried the trampoline bungee thing… my kids were too wimpy to do such a thing!
Speaking of Marie… this child had never had a funnel cake. My sister is obviously depriving this child… we got her one and she licked the powdered sugar off the plate when she finished polishing it off…
Cassie wanted to go on the carousel, of course. Tom took the other kids on the Farris wheel. 
But the best part of the day was when I was kicking myself repeatedly for not bringing my big camera. We saw the Pacific Islanders (no fire show because of the winds, I was seriously bummed) and Tom got invited up on stage to have a hula contest. The man can’t move his hips, he looks like a duck, I have video too, just need to get it downloaded and edited. Yes, I will be sharing the fun 
In the mean time…
You got to hand it to him though… my man is a good sport. We got a photo op picture afterwards…
