My Little Family | {Our Adventures}

This post is going to be a little bit different. I want to let you look into the life of my little family and see the things we like to do together. I’m sure it’s not much different than what your family might do. Here’s some visuals for you to enjoy.

Oh, and before I forget, check me out on Facebook at facebook.com/photosbykaren2010. Likes and shares are greatly appreciated!!

Little K and I like to “window paint”. I found it on Pinterest (of course) but I couldn’t tell you who from. There’s probably hundreds of tutorials/posts about doing this. Like this one. Or this one (who got it from this one).Untitled-1She was showing me the smiley’s eye and then her eye! How adorable is my little one??

 

Untitled-9
Remember how I said I like the outdoors? Well so does K, A LOT! She loved feeding and petting the donkeys at La Purisima Mission in Lompoc, CA.

 

Untitled-7
Donkeys aren’t the only animals she feeds. Well, actually, she’ll feed just about ANY animal… Anywho, we love spending time together at the duck park!

And we’re always up for a trip to the Ty Warner Sea Center in Santa Barbara, CA! It’s fun, interactive, educational, and let’s not forget inexpensive! K absolutely loves playing with the “shish” (fish). She also likes to splash in the water because she knows she’s not supposed to…

And splash in the water when she IS supposed to! I have a little shish of my own!

 

Untitled-3
Oh how we love to spend time at the beach! Even though most of the time we’re dressed for a blizzard, there are a few days that are wonderful to play in the sand or go watch the sunset.

 

Untitled-5
These are two separate trips, but see what I mean about K feeding animals? She likes to sneak her nacks (snacks) to our basset hound, Honey, any chance she can get! So of course she was all for feeding goats at the Santa Barbara Zoo!

 

Untitled-2
What can I say, we like going to the Sea Center! She really does love to splash, and get everything soaking wet…. But you should always let littles be little!

 

Until next time,

Karen

You Can Find Me | {At The Zoo}

I’ve been slacking with my posts because of the weekend, but here’s a peek into some of my interests.

If you were to get to know me, you’d quickly find out that I love going places. Especially places that involve nature. I LOVE zoos and aquariums and such. Over the last few years, I’ve had the opportunity to go to quite a few. I have TONS of photos from such excursions, but that would take way too long to even bother looking at. So, I’ve compiled a small batch of some of my favorites. These locations include San Antonio, TX; Monterey, CA; Los Angeles, CA; and Santa Barbara, CA.

These are just from (somewhat) recent adventures. Like I said, I have more. But for now, enjoy some animals! My next post might be about landscapes/sunsets/evening skies. I haven’t determined if that’s what I want to do next, so just check back in later this week to find out!

 

Until next time,

Karen
