the fourth || holiday adventure

We sallied forth upward to the state of Wyoming for the Fourth of July.

There were horses (pictured), sarsaparilla (not pictured), cannon fire (not pictured), and family (not pictured).

We went to Fort Laramie to see historical things and to get far too warm in 100 degree weather and enjoy this wonderful country in a very remote part of the country. Which was sort of perfect in its beauty, simplicity, and yes…100 degree weather.

There are many more photos to show you that I’m prepping for tomorrow’s post.

And! A video. Come on now, is anyone surprised?

So, while it’s certainly worthwhile to document the view, the rides, the surrounding magic, I tend to prefer catching the personalities. The characters.

My family.

the setting || Orlando family vacation

The World of Disney is huge. Yet no detail is too little to go unnoticed.

That’s one of the great things about Disney World. A scene is created, and in its creation a wonderful setting springs forth that promises all sorts of story possibilities.

So today, I give you just a few of those scenes as captured through my DSLR (see, I told you it wasn’t all fancy phone photos!).

Have fancy phone, will travel || Orlando family vacation

During this trip, I tended to shoot more with my fancy phone than with the ol’ DSLR. When walking around a giant theme park, the fancy phone was just easier to whip out in between rides and festivities than my big camera. So, the fancy phone shots offer a better overview of the trip; the DSLR images, more family/detail shots.

Here’s installment one, featuring the fancy phone.

I daresay the little fella is pretty excited to be standing on his own, showing the world what he’s got.
