What are we doing?

Lake Whitney State park held its Saturday morning kids fishing tournament, this makes 21 years for this day.  Kids 12 and under sign in and are provided with tackle - poles, bait.  They fish for one hour while we and other host volunteers pass out the bait and measure the fish.  At noon, the kid with the highest total length for all fish, wins in their age category.  Age brackets were 6-8, 9-10, and 11-12.
No-one caught a fish, but every kid was presented a red ribbon for participating.

23 kids entered this year - past years had as high as 65
June and Bob - waiting for the measuring to begin

The local grocer, Brookstones, served hotdogs and soda for all involved



Spent a couple hours in Waxahachie on Sunday.  Our original intent was to take part in their annual tour of old homes, but we decided to pass on that. We did drive by a couple and they were gorgeous old homes - maybe we should have, but we went to the park instead to see what the vendors were hawking.

June checking out some jewelry.





Lunch at the "Two Amigos" mexican restaurant. This is one of the Amigos.

We spotted this UFO on our way back to the lake.

Earlier in the week this grass snake was tempting fate trying to cross the road in the campground.
Our visit through Crawford, TX on May 27th was un-eventful.  George Bush wasn't home that day, so we're gonna go back next week and drop in for a visit.  We'll let you know how it turns out.
