We got to photograph this fun family in their own backyard and then follow along as mom Ale shares their latest family adven-ture to NYC through instagram and gives great tips on how they made it fun for kids & parents.

Just having kids is an ad-venture on its own, right?

Well, in addition to adventure of the parenting type, Brian and I have ma-jor wanderlust as evidenced by our non-stop talk about travel and ad-venture at home. There are so many things to experience in this world, it almost feels like we will run out of time to experience it as a family. As our kids are growing, we are excited to start taking them to see other parts of the country and the world so that they can become aware that not everyone looks and lives like us. Our most recent family adventure was taking our two boys, Ben (6) and Max (5), to New York City. We have been talking about New York to the boys for a few years now, be-cause it is my all-time favorite place to visit. The energy there is like no other...not to mention the food. We have several picture books about New York, and recently had a string of family movie nights with movies that are set in the city. All of these things combined really set the stage for the excitement and anticipation of the trip when we finally set the date. The visit was one we will not soon forget.

dventure MomDo you know a mom that is ad-venturous and travels to the most wonderful places with her kids? She is the kind of mom that makes the trip look seamless, like it all just fell in her lap. Well, we know such a mom and we can tell you that much planning goes into making the trip look so fun and easy. Ale Cretul is our “Adventure Mom” and we are excited to share just what goes into making her trips so special.
