It’s about time I shared some of my favorite animal adventures with you. If you’ve been here before, you know Kent and I love to run, climb, hike – hence peaks! But what you may not know is that the penguins part is every bit as essential to our lives.

From our extended honeymoon in Africa to our 10 year celebrations in the Galapagos, amazing animals have featured in every single one of our trips abroad. We also seek cute critter encounters wherever we happen to be living, too. Here are some snapshots of Earth’s most excellent creatures, and the stories surrounding them. Enjoy!
