One of my favorite Easter memories was when you came to Steamboat a few years ago. Remember all that laundry you did?!? :) This year, Easter at the Boyers was much quieter. But we did get out and enjoy Steamboat.
On Friday night, there was a Hometown Heroes celebration to welcome back the athletes from Steamboat who competed in the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Two of the athletes who won medals in Nordic combined were born and raised here — Johnny Spillane and Todd Lodwick. The celebration included a parade down Lincoln Avenue, our main street. They brought in snow by the truckload (the same snow they have to haul OUT of downtown!) so that the parade could be on snow. A marching band on skis led the way, and the Olympians were each in their own horse-drawn sleighs!
This morning, Brent and I rode the gondola to the top of the ski area for sunrise Easter service. The pastor who married us held the service. The music and the message were both inspiring. It was definitely worth waking up before the sun!We love you,
Megan and Brent
