About a mile from the hotel, I was gassing up the minibus, when I passed a small lake. A dad was out there with a snow pup, blowing off the four inches of snow that had just fallen. To the extent that he could, he was preparing and maintaining his personal skating rink so that his children could play, skate and have games of pond hockey.
It did not cost a lot of money for him to provide them with this entertainment. It creates childhood memories for the kids that will last a life time. It gets the kids off of social media and disconnected from electronic gadgets--gets them outside to exercise their bodies and souls, so that a good time will be had by all.
