My sweet sisters teaching at Emmanuel Christian School in Enid, OK, do have a spring break. Every year for the past 6 or 7 years, it has been the family tradition to do a skiing trip to Colorado for Spring break. The family has kept that tradition every year, except for 2009, the year I got married, when my family graciously offered to move my belongings up to Rapid City over spring break. I didn't get to join my family last year, because I was student teaching, but this year I was invited to join them. Remember: there is no "spring break" for Rapid City schools -so I just took a day and a half of leave to be able to join them for an extended weekend on Colorado Springs.
We had such a great time! We got to hang out together, play games, watch movies, go skiing, shop at some unique stores, and enjoy the beautiful Colorado scenery.
On Saturday, we went to Garden of the Gods and took a walk around the park. We saw a bunch of rock climbers going up the sides of the rocks.
On Monday, we all went skiing at Monarch Ski Resort. It was a gorgeous day! We had such an enjoyable time skiing!
While we were there, we stayed at the Air Force Academy, which holds many memories for us...Mom and Dad met and fell in love there, and Tim and I got married there. It was memorable to drive around and see familiar sights that reminded me of past visits.
We had such a great time with you! It was wonderful to hang out. I love the pictures in your post. :)
