 It was a cold weekend here in Texas...
but we were determined to get out...
Saturday the wind blew straight through you...
we went to the indoor gun range...
I've only ever shot a gun once...
and it had too much of a kick for me...
I've shot BB guns...but that does not compare...
so Saturday I took a short class...
then tried out a couple of guns...
I found one that I felt comfortable with...
Hubby was very patient with me...
cause I was really nervous...
but I calmed down...and enjoyed it...
Sunday we went to Mineral Wells State Park...
what a nice quiet day...shooting my camera...
hiking...enjoying the wildlife and outdoors...

 a couple of does were great models...
they let me get pretty close to them...

 the perfect spot for a picnic...

 the lake is very full...over full...
this is it running over the edge to the spillway...
which happens to run across a road...
we were able to pull right up to it...

 I could have set here all day just enjoying the view...
they also have screened in areas with electricity you can rent...
Hubby and are are definitely going back...
to spend a few days...

I


Saturday we finally had a chance to go to my favorite place...
Cedar Hill State Park...
The last time we were there was in March...
Then tge flooding hit...
The park was closed all summer...a real bummer for us....
Only a small portion is open the lake is still way above level...
It was so nice to be there...
