a story that I will never know....

In my last post, I mentioned that on our trip to Crystal Lake a few weekends ago, I took pictures as we drove. I wanted to share these pictures with you today. If you read the last post you will recall that Jack was driving and I was in the passenger seat with my camera snapping pictures the entire drive. Not all the pictures taken turned out - some were blurry (we were moving 75-80 miles an hour!) and some were of things that I didn't mean to get because I had totally missed my intended target. The following are the pictures that I feel are worth sharing. These are from the trip to Crystal Lake.
We love this barn! It is clear to us that the owner is proud of his land, his Texas, and the (no doubt) hard work he has put into this land. *I got a better shot of it on the way back from Crystal Lake.
 
"The Old Store" ~ awesome old building.

Jason and Madison on the drive there.
 
I would love to explore this place!!

These pictures were taken at the Dinner Momma Camille hosted at Crystal Lake:

Johnny Dad, Madi girl, and Jason



Alex and Emily~the newly engaged couple.


Jack and his cousin Conner.


Uncle Bill, Trey, Uncle Dennis, Momma Camile, Aunt Carol and Aunt Suzanne hanging out at the bar.

Jack and I. Conner, if you are reading this, I cropped out my hand, as you can see....that is still so funny to me! Thanks for taking the picture.
The boys watching the Cowboys game.

Thumper and Meredith~also engaged to be married!


Jasmine and Dennis with their youngest son, Joshua.

Madison and Jason playing cards with Gabi and David.
And these pictures were taken on the drive home from Crystal Lake:
A hawk taking flight from a speed limit sign. Jack loves hawks and we always look for them. We thought it was pretty cool to get a shot of it like this.
 
Nothing says Texas (other than the barn with the Texas flag painted on it) like a big Long Horn! A shot of a dilapidated house (I think it's a house) taken through some dead trees closer to the road.
 
Another shot of the Texas barn that we love so much.
 
This was really far from the road but, it looks like a dog house next to a tree. The dog house was just out there, not close to a house, alone. I wondered why. What happened to the house that was there, or was there ever a house? If not, why was this dog house out there? It's a mystery. A great picture with a story that I will never know.
