I had the pleasure taking photos of this adorable family this weekend. Aren’t they about as photogenic as you can get? Three-year-old Tynlie is about as cute and fun as they come (but don’t tell her that). And you can’t help but want to squeeze 7-month-old Wyatt with those adorable cheeks and big eyes. I loved the farmland – the hay bales, the silo, the barn … so serene.
The gorgeous weather sure brought out the crowds at the Louisburg Cider Mill last weekend, but we still had a good time exploring the corn maze and wandering through the pumpkin patch with Baby K and friends. Her new best friend is Olaf, the puppy!
Here’s the final photo from Thanksgiving in Denver. This is one of the wind farms we passed on the long drive through Western Kansas.
Check out all of the photos from our trip!

On our Thanksgiving road trip to Colorado, we took a detour to explore this impressive formation. How many of you knew there was something like this–something other than flat land–in Western Kansas? Can anyone name this site?
I saw this beautiful bouquet at the Maple Leaf Festival this weekend. It was only $10, and looking back, I wonder if I should have bought it. But what could be better than a photo that lasts forever?
Sometimes I really enjoy looking back at photos I’ve taken, even just a year ago. It’s crazy how you may get a really good photo, but you don’t post it or print it, so it completely slips your mind. I took this one in Southeast Kansas last September.
Saturday night we had the pleasure of attending a friend’s wedding at the historic Granada Theater. I’ve seen some awesome photos of weddings at theaters, and my husband and I actually looked at theater for our own reception venue, but this is the first time I’ve ever attended a wedding at a theater. It was great! We sat at tables for the both the wedding and the reception. No long span of time between the two, no leaving so they can change the set-up from wedding to reception, no distant drive between venues. It was a beautiful wedding and I wish the couple nothing but the best.

I loved watching this sweet mama kangaroo and her joey (in her pouch) resting in the sunlight. Believe it or not, I didn’t even have to zoom in to get this photo – I was actually that close. One of my favorite parts of Tanganyika Wildlife Park was petting the kangaroos. Check out my other photos from Tanganyika if you haven’t seen them yet.

(Although I posted several days worth of photos from Tanganyika, I am in no way getting paid – the opinions are strictly my own.)
Have you ever looked at the facial expressions of an alpaca? They crack me up every time. It seems like I’ve encountered them on every recent vacation I’ve taken, and I never get tired of them. They were used in the Great Smoky Mountains to carry luggage to a hike-in resort, we stayed on an alpaca ranch in Montana when we went visited Glacier National Park, and they were part of Tanganyika‘s petting zoo last weekend.

This weekend we took a mini-vacation to Wichita, KS to catch up with some friends. While there, I had the best interactive zoo experience at Tanganyika Wildlife Park. This is a really unique park that promotes education and conservation, and encourages interaction. Yes, interaction! That’s what makes this zoo unique. I’ll be sharing several photos over the next several days.
