Promised Land Zoo was a great place for kids or anyone really to learn about animals from a christian worldview.

We just had to take advantage of the golden hour sunlight.

This year my family and I loaded up and headed out to Branson Missouri for our annual family vacation.

Day 1

 We made pretty good time being that be only made a few stops one of which was to see the Arkansas Natural Bridge.

My little Amelia (Pond) is growing up so much. I gave her my old point-and-shoot before we left for vacation...this is her taking pictures right alongside her older sister.

Day 2 

We went to Silver Dollar City, but I didn't bring my camera because I was riding too many roller coaters.

Day 3

My mom likes us to wear "coordinating" outfits every day on vacations because you never know when a good picture opportunity will turn up. In this case she was right. We were on our way to the Laura Ingals Wilder homestead and stopped to eat lunch in a town park. Right across the street there was this nifty run down building so I made the kids have a little photoshoot. That's what happens when your big sister is a photographer. :)

How cute is this?! because bowties are cool... :)

In other news...I'm finished with school...or at least I will be by the time you read this...hopefully. My junior year of high school has been fun, but I am so glad that it's over! Let the good times roll! Come on summer 2014! 

That reminds me! I should have some vacation pictures up soon!
