Texas Pickin' Park

This past weekend me, Brad and Addyson went to the 1st Annual Bluegrass Festival in Fayetteville, TX. Brad has picked up playing the guitar the past few months and has been waiting on pins and needles for this festival to come around. Basically it's a weekend full of live bands as well as folks with their stringed instrument of choice coming together for a "jam session". I thought to myself at first that this was going to be pretty lame and I was just going to support my hubby's new addiction. However, I actually found it to be pretty fun and I might try my hand at an instrument before next year's festival comes around. Brad suggested the washboard...I'm not sold on that idea just yet. Anyway, we always go to Fayetteville for dinner when we're in town visiting Brad's parents. But this time I was able to walk around town and get some cool pictures.

This is outside of what used to be an old movie theater...Brad's parents actually went there when they were dating - now it is someone's residence

I need a hobby

Well, Brad decided that I needed to get a hobby (so I would quit bitchin about him always buying things for his 50 hobbies) and suggested that I go buy a camera that I've been talking about for the past 2 years. Since Addyson has been born I've been totally disgusted with my regular cameras for the simple fact that by the time I click the button to take the picture, she has already moved! Plus I've been talking about taking some photography classes...so here I am. Best Buy had a deal the other weekend for a Canon Rebel XT that came with the 75-300mm zoom lens. I'm still trying to figure out how it works, but I'm definitely loving the fast shutter speed!

Here's a couple of samples:
