Hamp eased into his first ever tackle football season with an air of confidence that made me proud - he had never put on pads and helmet before but wore them easily and played well in his short but successful season. He learned so much and loved every minute of it - from what I could tell! In the second to last game he even caught an interception that I am sure will be the hook that keeps him playing football in high school. At least he will be with a fantastic team of kids that play well together...
When we weren't at football games in September, we stayed busy with all kinds of fun fall activities!
There was the annual outdoor classic movie:
An impromptu family hike in Palisade:
a Sunday morning paddle on the lake:
a charity golf tournament where this fabulous foursome took first place in the amateur flight:
(ummm.... we may have been the only team in that category!)
and a Homecoming Parade!!!

and that doesn't even mention the afternoons at the park, volunteering at the Meeker Classic, gymnastics practices in Craig twice a week and time spent with lots of good friends while the weather stays nice!
Sometimes, in the middle of the all the activity, I just have to stop and appreciate the moment:
Love it all. But that sweet shot of Gabe is awesome! And that double rainbow is just breathtaking.
