Photos Capture Family Moments

"We are making photographs to understand what our lives mean to us."  -Ralph Hattersley

Family life is precious so why not celebrate the joys of a family vacation?

celebrate a magical world
a whole new world of fun
where smiles are the signature look
and dreams come true
whether on land or sea,
Disney takes us back
to another time
of imagination
and
possibilities

I agree with Karl Lagerfeld's following quote. "What I like about photographs is that they capture a moment gone forever, impossible to reproduce." My dream vacation with family and the little grandgirls may be over but the memories last. The above photo collage created with Canva reminds me of a magical trip to Disney World and the cruise ship voyage that followed. . I'm pulling out the magic wand and wishing for more to come. Stay tuned.

Thank you for reading my Slice of Life at Two Writing Teachers, a place where teacher writers meet and share their stories.

    1. Kim, our family has a Google Photo album for each of the little girls and one for Our Family. It is loaded with memories and for Christmas my daughter and her husband gave us an electric photo frame for our house. As we pass it each day, we love seeing photos from the past.

    1. Thank you, Vivian. I had so much fun creating this slice and someday, I hope my little grandgirls look at different pieces about them.

  3. That looks like such a fun trip, Carol! This brings back great memories of when I went with my parents.

    One day we'll take our kids to Disney World. (Isabelle has been, but Ari hasn't.) Living so close to Hersheypark has really put that kind of trip to the backburner.

  8. Love these pictures! :0) (I really wanted to make the 50th anniversary celebration, as Orlando is my hometown. Couldn't make it work schedule-wise, but I've been vicariously enjoying through folks who have been!) Thanks for sharing.
