Hamp finally got to travel this summer for his Ecology Project International trip to the Galapagos Islands! We had been planning and fundraising for two years for this trip and apparently it was worth the wait. After two weeks of no communication, I was thrilled to hear Hamp talk my ear off all the way home from the airport... he told me about all the wildlife and the biology lessons and the teachers and the culture. His favorite part was snorkeling with sharks and rays and sea lions and he wished he could've stayed forever! (I am glad he didn't!!!)
a typical day in the classroom:
Meanwhile, Sam applied to be a member of the Rocky Mountain Youth Corps for two weeks where he camped overnight and worked on trails in the National Forest. He was lucky enough to be assigned the Rocky Mountain National Park and even though the work was tough, the camaraderie and the experience to camp in the National Park was amazing!
Then I was left at home to figure out my own kind of adventure: a new job!
Not the summer I would've guessed... instead of exploring the lakes and mountains in my backyard, I am exploring my personal ability to learn and manage a whole new career path.
I believe all 3 of us have grown a lot this summer!
