A few weeks ago my friends and I decided to take a skiing lesson at COP. Yesterday we all took a trip down to the park for the “Discovery Skiing lesson.” After being led to the discovery tent we put on all of our gear, got sized up for skis, and left for the hills.…
A little inspiration became an actual adventure. My friend Jennifer and I took money out of our own pockets to make holiday gift bags for the homeless.
