Shrimp Festival

Saturday we headed out to the Shrimp Festival here in Sneads Ferry. This festival seems to be a big deal here so we thought we would check it out. The had a kick off parade that we went to first. Then we headed over to the festival. It was pretty much like any other festival with music, games, inflatables, vendors selling stuff, and lots of food. Except they have lots of shrimp as well.

As we were walking around we saw Ronald McDonald...or as Bree says hey it's "Old McDonald". She thinks he is the same as Old McDonald had a Farm. :)

Face paintings and party cups filled with frozen lemonade to help make the day a little more fun
They had a mining place set up....the girls had so much fun mining for gems, rocks and fossils. You pay for a bag full of different gems, rocks and follsils and the guys puts them in the sand so when they start mining they find all sorts of goodies. They both had so much fun. So cute to watch their expressions as they would bring up their pans and see all their gems.

Games were played and prizes were won.

Can't go to a festival without a train ride. They were the only two on the train and they though they were hot stuff. Katie kept doing the Miss America wave to everyone as they rode around. Ha!

The girls enjoyed the day....dad and I ended up broke. :) It was a fun family day!
