First Day of School!

After a terrific summer season - it's back to school time.

Sam is a Senior this year and already going full steam ahead... Student Council President, Varsity Golf Team, and Women's Volleyball Manager - I anticipate a fun-filled, full few months this fall!

And Hamp started his 2nd year at CU Boulder - living in the fraternity house and loving every minute!

I recently saw a poll of top 10 colleges voted "most fun" and CU Boulder was ranked #1... so I feel like it's a great fit for Hamp!

(just hope he gets some studying done, too!)

End of Summer

The goal was to find balance this summer - balance between work and play!

While all three of us spent a lot of time in the office/ranch/restaurant, there were definitely some highlights that made it all worthwhile, including:

a concert!

a first tattoo!

Fourth of July festivities with (girl)friends!

Not as much time on the water as we wanted... but we all got in a float or two this summer!

And mostly just good times with friends... there were some fun regional adventures including:

Strawberry Days in Glenwood Springs

Balloon Festival in Craig

And a night out with friends in Grand Junction!

Back in Meeker, once Hamp got fully sucked in to working every day on the guest ranch, Sam managed to squeeze in a volleyball tournament fundraiser and a part in the summer community theater production of Mamma Mia!

And I managed to sneak away for a weekend to celebrate Mojo's 75th birthday on the beach!

Not too shabby for a summer when Sam spent most lunch and dinner hours tossing pizzas at the Brewery and Hamp spent too much time up in the mountains on the guest ranch... but they never really complained, probably because they both got to work with their best friends!

And I think I did a pretty good job of finding that balance of work, play, and time that I got to spend with these two!
