the great outdoors.

old news now, but i figure i would keep you all up to date!

it was a nice sunday afternoon. the perfect temperature - not too hot or humid, you could tell that fall is just around the corner. shane and i took a trip to bear mountain in the hudson valley to spend the afternoon.

what a view! the water looked so clear!

look at my little friend!


a thoughful picture of shane, taking in the view.


we snagged the cool looking wooden bench to take this photo.


a little mushroom! i wonder who lives under there???


the park was celebrating Octoberfest a little early (it was still early september!) so naturally we had to partake in the food. i had a brat. it's the chicago in me! shane got the knockwurst, which i, actually, had never heard of. wash it down with a becks and the afternoon was complete!
