Monitor BBQ

This next week is Ryan's last week at Monitor (Yippee!). He's worked with some great people, and while we're sad to say goodbye to them, we are all definitely looking forward to Ryan's time off until school starts in September. The last 6-9 months, in particular, have been really crazy for Ryan. He's been in Denver almost every week during that time. Don't get me wrong, we've enjoyed the benefits of his recent jump in airline and hotel status, but I think it's finally time for a break.

Before his final day with Monitor, we were able to attend a work BBQ with his colleagues. One of the managing partners hosted the party at her Pacific Palisades home (a large community of incredible homes right off the coast of Malibu - you can see the ocean from her front porch. Amazing). Luckily, this partner has three young kids, and plenty of toys to keep Westin entertained.

Swings with dad

Coloring in the little kids' clubhouse in the backyard
Playing with trains

Learning how to play tetherball

And last but not least, Westin's favorite new toy... the mini ATV

By the end of the afternoon Westin had really mastered riding the ATV and was going all over the place (and into everyone and everything).

Dad, I think I know your next purchase...
