Every year Sully’s family goes on vacation together, and this year was bigger than ever: 25+ people in one house for a week, including 12 kids under 12. :O
I was SO excited but also a bit daunted, especially with being 34 weeks pregnant and remembering the traumatic ending of the last vacation. But it turned out to be a blast. Since I’m not posting as often these days, I decided to cram all the best photos into one post. Read on for plenty of cute kids and fun adventures!
Hello friends!
Last weekend our friends hosted their annual fall festival and, as usual, I got to be one of the event photographers! The day was filled with family competitions, the fanciest pies, bonfires, dancing, and apples + pumpkins. Enjoy some snapshots from this fun day!
Hello friends!
My whole family spent last weekend at Smith Mountain Lake – boating, kayaking, swimming, tubing, water-skiing… It was great fun! And we were so sore afterward, haha.
Enjoy a post full of pretty lakescapes (is that a word?), fun action shots, and hilarious expressions. 😀
Hello friends!
Our family friends the Borns love to host big events and parties at their farm. Recently they put on their famous “Spring Fling” which includes a family obstacle course, crosscut-sawing and doughnut-eating contests, a cupcake-baking competition, barn dancing, and more. I was the “lead photographer” for the event and had so much fun wandering around capturing pictures of laughter, cute kids, and pretty scenery.
Scroll through this post if you need a smile. 🙂
Hello friends!
I finally got to take Sully to the county fair I enjoyed every summer a kid. So many good memories… We drove there last Saturday along with my cousins and most of my siblings. It was a super fun afternoon filled with cute animals, free chickens, funnel cakes, scary drop towers, and more.
Come along on a summer adventure with me!
Hello, dears!
Gracious, this is the longest break from blogging I’ve had in… ages! I think all the unused busyness from the early COVID months got condensed into these last four weeks or so, sheesh. In part, we went on vacation (obviously), we had a big party + game night on Megan’s birthday, I’ve been toiling over a big design project for a client, we went to my great grandma’s funeral, I started art tutoring and teaching at a local co-op again (with frustrating regulations), and we had a lot of company come over, including my best friend who lives states away!
Of course, I took a bunch of pictures and some of that will make it into future posts if I ever have time to write them, argh. But for now, at least I finally made this post about our vacation. 🙂 We went to Norris Lake in Tennessee this year, and the highlight of the trip was tubing, swimming, and boating. So exhausting, but so fun, and GREAT for water photography! 😉 I hope you guys enjoy!
Hello, dears!
Yay, I finally get to share some of my favorite recent photos! Our cousins from Canada stayed at our house over New Years and we had many lovely adventures with them that will have to last us until we see them again. 🙂
If kids (and sometimes) adults come over to our house and want to go outside, there’s a high chance we’ll take you to 1) the hay barn (basically an enormous, extremely dusty playground), or 2) one of the streams (which can provide hours of entertainment as well). As a bonus, they both make for some pretty fun pictures!
Enjoy this collection of sunbeams and hay bales and warm winter adventures!
Hello, dears!
I went to our state fair for the first time with my family a few days ago, and got TONS of pictures! Because obviously. 😉 I have far too many to stuff into one post, so I’ll do at least one more collection after this. For now, enjoy some action photography of horses, lassos, and cute little cowboys 😀
Hello, dears!
We recently took a trip to our old farm for several events, including attending a funeral, swimming, and going out to eat. I didn’t take pictures of the first, but I did of the other two. 😉 If you like swimming, ice cream, or summer adventures, you might enjoy this post! I’d love to hear about what summer adventures you go on after you finish!
And since that’s apparently all the intro this thing needs, let’s get straight into the post. 😉
