"I count myself lucky so many of my memories have the backdrop of water.
Most of my childhood photos have me fishing a lake with my dad in Colorado. I was young, so I don't quite remember, but there's enough images captured it's what stands out. At five, we moved to the Pacific Northwest, so I grew up on the Puget Sound. I may not have realized it then, but I count myself lucky so many of my memories have the backdrop of water. When my son was in elementary, he did a project on the Poudre River Watershed, and it affected how he viewed water. Rocco pushed us to adjust choices transform how we talk about it in our household. We are a family conscious of the connectedness, importance, and finite resource of water and that drives us to be better stewards."
