My experience volunteering was extremely disappointing. I left feeling disrespected, unheard, and…read moreunfairly treated by the leadership. One of the most upsetting parts of my experience was that I felt I was treated as though I had been dishonest. I also felt I was unfairly accused of making negative comments about campers. To the best of my knowledge, I never made the kinds of comments I was accused of, and I was never given a meaningful opportunity to explain my side. I was especially discouraged when my volunteer service hours were taken away after everything I had contributed. Instead of feeling appreciated for volunteering my time, I left feeling dismissed and unsupported. I believe volunteers deserve to be treated with respect, listened to fairly, and given the benefit of a genuine conversation before serious conclusions are reached. Unfortunately, that was not my experience.

There were several park structures near the pavilion, from swings, slides, spider web jungle gyms. There were two buildings near that I believe you could rent out for parties. Bathrooms are a stones throw and were air conditioned and clean. We could see the skate park from where we were along with additional play areas, across the street you can see the splash pad. There is "story walk" trail you can take that leads to or from the Library situated at the top of the hill. Definitely take a stop at the carousal if it's open it's only a dollar a person to ride, and really quite a splendor to oh and ah over. Tons of shade, great place for a picnic, and to get some energy out. Can't wait to visit again with my family.

There was a couple having wedding photos, and there was an elderly man taking pictures, and I just really liked how serene it was. Even the surrounding areas are just open fields and it's very beautiful. I'm happy this place is not too long of a drive from Houston to escape the city.

I would recommend to go if you are attending Baylor college just so you can see a bit of history of where the school originated.. It also gives you a great viewing of what started out as a woman's only college. Fun fact I didn't know so I definitely learned something new. We stopped by here after coming from the antique rose Emporium and right before going to to Brenham. I wouldn't say it was a complete waste of time! The trees that have grown there are absolutely amazing and beautiful.. Many of which I have seen in San Antonio and other parks around Houston. Cool pictures if you are also graduating from Baylor too!

One of the attractions were a petting zoo and pony ride provided by EJC Farms. The young employee taking tickets was very polite. The animals were precious. Then my daughter pointed down to a baby goat. It's leg was so contorted that I became nausested. The tiny goat wasn't a buckling or small doe. This was a baby "Kid" no more than 7-8 weeks old. It was still trying to nurse on another lactating doe. At first, I thought maybe the crooked leg were a birth deformity but the tiny goat showed obvious signs of pain and suffering such as; Whimpering, limping, falling at the slightest bump from a child or animal passing by, unable to maintain balance, trouble standing up after falling. I had to put my 1 1/2 year old toddler down so i could redirect the goat and keep other animals and people from stepping on the injured animal. After a closer look at the animals leg and it was painfully clear that this animal needed medical attention ASAP. I knew the festival still had 2 hours before closing so I asked the man at the gate if he knew the goat was injured. He said "the little black & white one? Yes ma'am, we know. One of the larger animals steeped in it while they were traveling in the trailer today." A lady standing nearby heard the conversation and pointed out who she thought was in charge of the animals. This is how that went: ME: Hello there. I wanted to let you know that one of your small goats is injured. EDWARD LEE ROBINSON: Yes, I know. One of the animals stepped on it while they were in the trailer today. It ain't broke. ME: (my smile immediately disappeared) Ok..... maybe it's not a severe break, but it could be something that needs medical attention and requires rest. EDWARD LEE ROBINSON: It ain't broke. ME: Yes, you already said that. The animal is injured, sir. Did a vet look at the goat and verify that it's not broken. EDWARD LEE ROBINSON: ...No. It ain't broke. () ME: (voice shaking so bad i sounded like a goat myself) That's so cruel. ....You are so cruel. I hoped for him to elaborate on his weak ass rebuttal but got nothing more. His vague replies and uninterested facial expression was a sign that i was wasting time trying to reason with a person who wouldn't show mercy to a baby animal in severe pain. From what I saw, there was only one transport trailer to transport ALL of the animals. I'm guessing at least 24 animals combined, ranging from the smallest/youngest goat weighing about 12lbs compared to a calf and Shetland ponies weighing between 500-550 lbs. This injured goat was about the size of my Boston terrier. Why in the bloody hell would a 12 lb goat be next to a 500 lb pony while traveling from magnolia to spring? I hate giving someone a bad review, but if you would have seen the baby animal suffering and no one doing anything to help them, you would do the same.

Visited my parents this past weekend for July 4th so I wanted to check out a range I heard about…read morenear College Station. All of the other rifle ranges I've been to in the North Houston area have been absolutely dreadful so I was hoping for a change of pace. The Cawthon Cartridge Club (CCC) is located near Navasota, TX and about 20 miles from Aggieland. The range is on a huge swath of land, I reckon about +800 acres. They have a 200 yard range, numerous uncovered tactical bays with just a few steel targets, several pistol bays and a 5-stand area for shotgun. The entire area (including berms) was covered in a lush green grass that was freshly mowed. The roads were crushed limestone. The owner roves the grounds in a John Deere Gator UTV but other than that there were no Range Safety Officers. I was only interested in shooting long distance so proceeded to the rifle range. Newcomers are restricted to 500 yards and below until they quality with the owner. There were steel hanger targets every 50 yards and at the 500 yard line, there were about 8 different steel targets of varying sizes. The grass was very neatly trimmed and gently sloped downward. Beyond the 500 yard line were targets every 100 yards until 1200. The shooting area was up on a hill with a nice metal shade structure. There were some rickety old benches but I chose to shoot prone. There was a nice breeze blowing into our faces which really helped to beat the brutal heat and humidity. Out beyond the 1200 yard target was a farmer working a field in his tractor. The owner advised us of this beforehand and asked us to hold fire until he was out of sight. This was annoying as the farmer was constantly behind the target area; fortunately I had two people with me, one to spot my targets and the other to keep an eye on the farmer. Hopefully this is not a regular occurrence. I've never shot at a range this nice before. They didn't have as many steel targets as ETTS in Waxahachie but the grounds were much nicer. Membership is $750/yr but they let me pay only for the remainder of 2016. Guests are $25 each and you are normally restricted to two.

There's a metal folding chair and a bench that's too high for it at the 100 so I just went prone instead. So if you're not a member don't expect much. Otherwise, I understand there's some decent long shots to be had there with covered shelters and such. I don't recall the membership dues but it's several hundred dollars.
