A Peek Into Our Personal Lives

Life Outside The Business

We share a lot of the things we do in our personal lives in the blog when we talk about the work we're promoting. However, it's not often we share photos of ourselves out enjoying time as a family. A lot of times when we're taking photos, the kids are there with us. We usually all have fun out on photo shoots. It makes work not seem so much like work. It's also definitely not like going to work in a cubicle somewhere away from the family all day, even though Don does have a "day job". We're able to take the kids with us just about everywhere we go. As you can guess, we also take lots of family photos while we're out too.

What We Like To Do As A Family

I figured it would be different to talk about some of the things we really like to do as a family. The top thing we enjoy (as you can see in the gallery above), we like going to the beach. The kids absolutely love playing in the sand and jumping over the waves as they come in. Sand castles are another thing that's high on their priority list when we're at the beach. Of course, we get a lot of awesome family photos while we're at the beach. They're anything from portraits to quick snapshots, but we have thousands of photos of the kids and ourselves having fun together.

Hiking is another thing we really like doing together. The kids like exploring the world around them, and hiking allows them to see all sorts of different plants, animals, etc. Our daughter rides in a backpack on Don's back most of the time when we're out hiking, but she's getting old enough to walk for a pretty good distance. Our son likes collecting things from nature, so he's always picking up sticks, flowers, rocks, etc that he wants to bring home.

Movie night is also a fun time for us. We usually get a movie from Netflix or Amazon, order pizza and bread sticks and sometimes even get some kind of sweet treat for dessert. We all sit down and watch a family movie together with our pizza. The kids love it, and we enjoy seeing movies with them. One of the recent movies we watched was Despicable Me 2, and the kids loved the evil minions. Our daughter goes around the house saying, "graaarr!"

There's a lot of other things we do together as a family, but these are the top three that we would all say we love. We truly have fun together, and hope that all of you do too. We figured since tomorrow is Independence Day that we would share something a little more personal with you all. We hope you all have a great and safe 4th!
