    I didnt feel anything awkward while taking these photos, but i did take 3 one right after the other, because of the lighting. It was too dark in broad daylight was the reason i took 3. I ended up seeing this aftwr going through them later!

    The first one there appears to be something in the upper left corner. Neither of these things were visible while taking the pictures

    We all went there one night and had a big ol time. Versy got tight and started on Betty Jean but she ain't havin it. Dontrae would stand by the road and do the helicopter cause he could. Take a cooler wid you cause you gonna need it. Go muddin first so you get all the girls worked up. They love it when you make it bounce. Makes em jiggle. I take deddys rifle out there n sight it in. There's enough room to do that. Watch what direction you go cause there's some houses around.
