• Here you will find the chronicles of our family of four. More pictures than words, I am most at home capturing our life with a still camera. Photos help me recognize the beauty and awesomeness in both the phenomenal people I live life alongside and this breathtaking place we live, planet earth.

    I am a child of God. I am the wife to a wonderful man, mother to two amazing little people. I am both daughter and sister. I am a runner. I love to travel and read.

    I often title this season of our life's adventure, The Continuing Adventures of Mallory Girl and Mark Boy. The photography is mine (unless otherwise noted.) Questions are always welcome. Thanks for reading and adventuring alongside us.

Our first look at the Magic Kingdom all spruced up for fall/Halloween. It was very orange but only on Main Street. I feel certain this is not the Main Street our Presidential candidates keep referencing.

Saturday night, Ben and I were treated to a date night. THANK YOU NONNIE.
We enjoyed a deliciuous dinner at the California Grill and then headed back into the park for my favorite time of day, "golden hour," to experience a few attractions Mallory would not enjoy. We even stayed to see the parade and fireworks. A great date night!

Mallory's first time to Disney's Animal Kingdom. She was SO excited. She might have been as excited as her mommy ๐Ÿ™‚

The park's icon and centerpiece is the Tree of Life. A photo op must.

Waiting in the que for the safari adventure. She was not real certain this was a good idea any more. The more uncertain she gets, the more she bites on her thumb nails.

Cute Minnie Mouse hat. She loves wearing it almost as much as her sunglasses.

We got to see so many amazing animals. RInocerous, ostriches, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, gazelles, lots of four legged horned animals, alligators and more.

This picture was taken at the toy store, she FREAKED out when we went into the World of Disney. Within 15 seconds (no exaggeration) she pointed and waved and frantically gestured to go OUTSIDE. So I took her back outside and waited for Nonnie. Yes, it was torture, being so close to one of my all time favorite places to see and people watch and no be able to go inside. After a nap, Mallory still wanted nothing to do with the World of Disney, so we headed to the toy store instead.

Nonnie's bag of goodies while we waited on dinner at the Rainforest Cafe. Mallory loves the fish tanks.
