Our family had the best holiday weekend! Saturday wasn't really a holiday for us, since Dan worked, Jo Ann taught skating and did quite a bit of writing, and Annabelle also skated, but on Sunday and Monday we went skiing and played in the snow!
Rebekah spent Saturday night and most of Sunday with her friend, Cassie, since the girls went to birthday party, so she didn't get to ski with us in Monarch, but joined us on Monday for some playing in the snow.
We especially love going to Ski Cooper, but couldn't to there due to bad weather, so we went to Monarch.
Whenever we ski, we are refreshed and rejuvenated. There is something wonderful and healing about being together in the Colorado outdoors. Dan can't ski due to the horrible accident he was in in 2005, but he can snowshoe.
We did think of our friend Haley Gans (who died on November 20, 2009) in a skiing accident in Breckenridge. Her memory will always be with us, especially when we go skiing.
We also had a great time just playing in the snow.
Our entire family thought about how wonderful it is that Martin Luth
er King Jr. and the Civil Rights Movement made it possible for the United States to be a place of equal opportunity. There once was a time when figure skating clubs would not allow African Americans, Jews, Asians, or people from other minorities to join. There once was a time when schools were segregated. The world has certainly changed.
