Generation of Disney Lovers

Dad and me at DisneyWhen my dad passed away 2 years ago, we went through hundreds of photos. The one that stuck to me the most was this one of him and myself on Dumbo at Disney World. After I showed the photo to Stephen, he said to me that he never pictured my dad as someone who would like Disney. That statement couldn’t have been farther from the truth. He was just a big kid at heart, and where better to express your inner child than Disney. That’s the great thing about going to Disney as an adult, you get to be a 4 year old again! So when I knew that we were going back to Disney this last February, I knew that I had to recreate the photo on Dumbo with Liam. I hope that someday he will keep up the tradition and we can have a photo of him with his own children.kris&liamondumbo-1

Project 365 – Day 33

day33-5Today was the first day since I started this project that I really didn’t want to pull out the camera. After a longish day of waiting around at work for a family to be ready for pictures, I was kind of done with the camera. But Liam wanted to play outside again this evening and I made myself bring the camera outside with us. And I’m glad that I did. I can’t ask for better light than this. I’m going to miss these semi-cool evenings when summer really hits. day33-1 day33-2 day33-3 day33-4

Project 365 – Day 32 – Happy Memorial Day

day32-12Are you ready for a huge photo dump? Today we celebrated Memorial Day. We remembered the brave men and women who died so that we could have the freedoms we enjoy today. This morning we spent the day planting some new flowers for the front and back planters. Then this afternoon Liam really wanted to play in the pool. Thankfully we were able to find a shady spot to relax (kiddie) poolside while he splashed around. Stephen made some amazing pulled pork and then we went back outside some more for a water fight among the boys. All in all, a perfect way to kick off summer.day32-2 day32-3 day32-4 day32-5 day32-6 day32-7 day32-8 day32-9 day32-10 day32-11 day32-13 day32-14 day32-15 day32-16 day32-17 day32-18 day32-19 day32-20 day32-21 day32-22 day32-23 day32-24 day32-25 day32-26 day32-27 day32-28 day32-29 day32-30 day32-31 day32-32 day32-33 day32-34 day32-35

Project 365 – Day 30

day30-1-2We spent another morning at Lewis Ginter today because it was GORGEOUS! Low 70s and sunny? Can’t beat it! We had a lot of fun exploring the butterflies and the different gardens. I really had a hard time choosing my photo today. I feel like I could have chosen any of the following photos, but I choose this one because this butterfly made me work for this shot. He kept wanting to fly from flower to flower. Also today is Day 30! I’m really proud of myself for not missing a day so far. I love pulling my camera out each day and just capturing something that represents that day. I hope that you guys aren’t bored with my endless pictures each day.day30-1day30-2day30-3day30-4day30-5day30-6day30-8day30-9
