Gentry Photo Shoot

This year I am co-chairing the Junior League Home Tour during the holidays.  It has certainly been a lot of work, but one of the highlights so far was prepping for and participating in the Gentry Magazine Photoshoot.  Halo did all of our hair for the pictures, Rosewood Sand Hill let us stage the photos in their ballroom, designers donated their time and we got to get all dressed up and enjoy champagne cocktails all the while!

Pronghorn 2012

We were fortunate to have joined Ellen and Frank on one of their annual trips to Bend, Oregon.  Pronghorn is a great spot for families - endless golf, swimming, biking, trips to the playground, hiking and any outdoor activity one could imagine!  I took too many pictures to post, but here are some select shots - sorry they're out of order!

Where we spent most our days-  the pool!

Amelia hiked 1 mile up, and 1 mile down - Pilot Butte.

She made it!
