Killing Jumbo Shrimp

Casa de la Hopps, Mesquite, Texas

Allen wanted a big ol' backyard shrimp-boil for his birthday. For entertainment, he built an axe-throwing target and painted monster shrimp on it. While we waited for the shrimp to boil, we took turns throwing axes. Much fun was had by all, and no shrimp escaped unscathed.

Too funny! And, you caught the axe in the air! Looks like a lot of fun...guess they frown on using guns for this in Mesquite, huh?

Thank you for taking care of killing those mean looking shrimp. I have been so frightened....

This is a great shot!
