Love this idea!! You can do it and I don’t mind seeing 3 months worth of Ryan-shots.
Great photos!! Where is the water park where the photo on 6.22 was taken?
It’s at Wabun Park…off the parkway in Mpls just past Mhaha Falls Park…back in towards the Veterans home. It’s public and FREE!
I was just thinking the other day that I wanted to do a photo a day sometime soon, once my son isn’t quite so needy! Looking forward to seeing it and I’ll be checking out Wabun the next time we’re in the city. Renee would dig it.
I love the pictures, Anne. Thanks for sharing them with us. So many summer memories!
