Exploring New Homes As A Family: An Instagram Story

Any Instagram users create their own Instagram Story yet? I’ve never used Snapchat, but from what I gather, it’s pretty similar. At first I thought the concept was dumb (why would I want my pictures to disappear?), but then my curiosity got the best of me.

Last weekend, we decided to go on a little family adventure to explore new homes in the Phase Three Construction Site. This was the perfect opportunity to test creating my first Instagram Story. What’s even cooler is the ability to save the pics you post, so technically, they never really disappear.

Hopefully you’ll enjoy our little excursion and maybe it will spark an idea for you to do with your family. My first Instagram Story pic was Going Mom and I taking a selfie before heading out.

Had to make it clear that we were not looking to buy a new home, despite all the cool upgrades some of them had. Stupid new homes….

I always find coins when walking around the area, and was excited to see this shiny circle. Not money though, boo.

Our good friend, Benny the mini excavator was out, so Avery jumped on to say hi.

We found another construction site friend, Spinny, sitting face down inside this home. Avery later gave it a hug and kiss. Yeah, she had white lips.

A piece of scrap trim? Nah, it’s a light saber from the old ages!

Not score. Avery got “the look” and we knew there was no waiting.

Back home we enjoyed the afternoon shade in our backyard. Avery had “washed” her Pink Millie Car (Millie is the name of G-Ma’s car) and needed to tip it over to get water out of the cup holders.

After tipping Pink Millie, she brought it back up to park.

Another family selfie (yeah, we take a lot) in the new hammock we installed. We all agree, our current home is the best for us!

Daddy was kicked out of the hammock. No worries, looking at these two is all I need.

Do you have Snapchat or Instagram?

Have you already or do you want to try creating a story? It’s actually pretty cool. There’s more to come from me I’m sure!
