I can tell Annabelle (as always) had a wonderful time at Ramah in the Rockies in the Colorado mountains! (I think two of the photos in this album may be from 2015...)
This is the Schneider-Farris Family's Blog. Keep up with what we are doing by logging into this site regularly! (The reason this site is called "Tragedy and Triumph" is that when I first founded this site, my husband, Dan, had been in a horrible accident, and he recovered. His recovery was a miracle! Go back to the 2005 archives to read our story.)

Kayaking at Palmer Lake, Colorado 7-20-16
Who would think it is possible to kayak near Colorado Springs? (I never see people kayaking or stand up paddle boarding, but at Palmer Lake, it is possible!) Also, inflatable tandem kayaks from Amazon are AWESIOME!

Colorado Friends: Take Advantage of Sarah Arnold Photography - Book 2017 Senior Portraits Now!

While skating at the Ice Hall at the Broadmoor World Arena in Colorado Springs, I've had the honor of getting to know Sarah Arnold, Athlete Development Manager at U.S. Figure Skating.
Sarah is not only a multi-talented figure skater who is a US Figure Skating quadruple gold medalist in moves, ice dancing, free skate, and solo free dance who competed internationally with the synchronized skating team from Miami University, but she is also an amazing photographer!
Sarah told me today, 7-18-16, about how much fun she had taking some figure skaters photos. She said she takes on-ice photos of the skaters and then goes outside and takes outdoor pictures. Of course, those who don't skate will love Sarah's outdoor or indoor photos.
She tells me she is booking her unique senior portrait photo sessions this summer, but will continue taking photos for anyone, including high school and college seniors year-round.
Sarah Arnold has been doing freelance photography since 2010. In addition to taking senior photos, she has photographed figure skaters, athletes, families, Bar and Bat Mitzvahs, weddings, etc.
I highly recommend Sara Arnold Photography to my friends in Colorado. Sarah has a wonderful and outgoing personality and those who take advantage of her photo talents will be certainly be happy!
