A Wild Day at the Dallas Zoo! 🦁🐘🐧

We spent the perfect day exploring the largest zoo in Texas, and it did not disappoint! From the Wilds of Africa to ZooNorth, we got up close with some amazing animals and had a blast wandering through 106 acres of exhibits.

If you’re planning a visit (or just love zoos), check out our video for a walkthrough of everything the Dallas Zoo has to offer. So many incredible creatures, fun activities, and beautiful scenery—it’s definitely a must-see spot in Dallas!

If you’re ever in the Cincinnati Ohio area, swing through Loveland and check out Loveland Castle. It’s an awesome place and amazing what Harry Andrews did there. A castle made by hand.
We visited last year and I finally just got the chance to edit and revisit the footage.

We were asked to contribute to an article on Apartment Guide about what we loved about living in Chicago. Our answer always to anyone that asks, is the fact that you can never be bored here. There's so much to do, whether in the city or close by.

#12 The Windy City is only the beginning

Pretty awesome to be asked to be part of a website that we ourselves have looked to in the past for recommendations.

It's getting so close to Six Flags Fright Fest! Can't wait! The new houses sound awesome at our local park Six Flags Great America/Hurricane Harbor.

Found a couple old cameras in an antique shop in northern Wisconsin. An Argus Seventy-five and a Kodak Duaflex ii. Both were super clean and complete. Picked up some Cinestill XX Black and White film and retrofitted it into the Argus. This camera was made in 1957 and still works great. Can’t wait to develop this one. Pretty awesome.
