My Mysterious Photographer

It has been observed that the day I went to Mounds State Park, I had a lot of pictures...but who took them?

Ryan.

:)

And now I can tell you that! We had such a fun day together that day. We started out at Gaither Family Resources for lunch and the best frappes on EARTH. (He'd never been there.) (Any man who will go to GFR is a good man.) (The frappes were UHmazing.)

So after our bellies were full of philly cheese steak hamburgers (not the real name but you get the idea) and those massive frappes, we hit the trails.

As I mentioned before, Ryan's adventuresome. Case in point: he was having a lot of fun on this limb out over the water. I was a bit nervous because he was wearing the backpack and it had my journal in it. I'm sure Ryan can swim. I'm sure my journal cannot.
 And yes. I took my journal with me. Don't judge me.

A bit of self-photography.
 The whole idea of the trails being well-marked was...um...a bit untrue. Yeah. We got lost. But no biggie. We read the map and found our way back to our trusty trail. And by we, I mean he.
 I failed to bring the tripod, so we had to use benches and railings for a tripod. Didn't slow us down much on the picture taking!!!
 After that, we went shopping (yep! He likes to shop!) and THEN - I introduced him to the wonder that is Skyline Chili.
 I'm SO unladylike on a date. Bring me the cheese-loaded spaghetti!!!
 Driving home. So happy for a fun day together!
 Until we hit construction. SERIOUSLY!?!?!??
So there you have it. The rest of the story - complete with my mysterious photographer.

Sigh of happiness.

Such a great-looking couple! Oh, and as someone who's married to an adventurous tree-limb climber, I can assure you that nervous laughter, nervous reprimands, nervous silence...pretty much nervous anything...will dare him to step farther over the water. :) (Glad to hear your journal survived the experience.)

Important question - Is this the Anderson Skyline?

Reading older post. Love this, y'all look so happy. If you only knew then that construction or traffic pose would be a Shafferland normal. A day including GFR and Skyline, equals awesomeness.
