Foronjy Family Update Summer 2022

We hear from many of our clients that caring for their children and grandchildren are one of their highest priorities in life.  We couldn't agree more!  We believe that working hard is absolutely critical to running a thriving business. However, spending time with family is also very important, especially while our kids are still young.   

So, we invite you to share in our recent summer adventures by checking out the pictures below.  It was personally a very meaningful summer for so many reasons.  To name a few, my oldest got the chance to attend Camp Ocean Pines on his own for 5 nights, all three of my kids fell in love with baseball, and we took an epic adventure in our camper to Wyoming and back! During our two week journey, we visited Joshua Tree, Zion, Bryce Canyon, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Craters of the Moon National Monument, and Yosemite. We also visited Park City Utah for a hotel stay and some river rafting. It was truly a trip of a lifetime. 

Thanks for being a part of our story!

You never know how 5 people in tight quarters will get along, but our kids were great at keeping busy during the long drive with books, audio books, and baseball cards.

We just couldn't resist stopping at a very interesting art exhibit outside of Las Vegas. It was 103 degrees which was quite a shock for our coastal kids.

Finding new little friends along the way is all part of being a good traveler. Sawyer fell in love with his new friend, Moosey, at Jenny Lake in the Grand Tetons.

One of the things that made this summer so special was that we took a 2 week Camper road trip together.
