My First Memory of Lake Ray Hubbard Personal Story: First Memory of Lake Ray Hubbard
The road that lay ahead of us descended into the largest hole in the ground my young eyes had ever seen. Dad’s delight in the situation was fueled by our excitement when he decides to stop the car. There in the middle of the road at the bottom of a huge hole Dad comes to a complete stop. You can only imagine the excitement we had finding ourselves way below the surface of the ground and surrounded by all this incredible machinery. All around us were these large pieces of equipment and they were busy, busy, busy. Everywhere I looked they were digging and digging. In my mind it reminds me of a Tonka town explosion.

Various activites throughout the year are held in the Harbor. Presently, Concert on the Lake is sponsored by the city of Rockwall and held every Thursday evening from mid-May to mid-August. There is so much to share about the lake, the cities and life in general. Stay tuned for another featured blog about life surrounding Lake Ray Hubbard. We will take a look at living in some of the neighborhoods along the Shores of Lake Ray Hubbard. I hope you enjoyed my story. If you would like to create family stories of your own give me a call.
