Riaan and I had a boy's day out at Shakamak State Park on Saturday, 31st October. It was a chilly day, but with beautiful sunshine. Here we are wrapped up warm by one of the lakes. Riaan's eagle, Hunter, which he borrowed from our babysitter, came along too. :)
We played at a couple of playgrounds, hiked a scenic trail around one of the lakes, watched for birds and eagles, and pretended we were the brothers Faramir and Boromir from
The Lord of The Rings - and, while in character, "cut down" multiple Brandywine Bridges to prevent the pursuing orcs and Black Riders from catching us!
We also grabbed hamburgers for lunch at a locally-owned drive-through business and then enjoyed our drive back home. It was a special time with my favourite boytjie!

Lake Shakamak is so beautiful.

Turtles were out sunning themselves.
