1 Mar 2010 - Ling Family

Feb 16, 2010, Peter and Judy Ling from Harpenden, UK with their three sons, Ollie (19), Jason (21),Danial (23) came to visit us for a week. They were here 9 years ago and stayed at our place in the Wilderness. We were concerned this time there would not be good snow but the Snow Gods started dumping snow on our resorts over President weekend and did not stop until the morning that the Lings had to fly back to the UK.

When they arrived on Tuesday evening, we headed off to the Virgin Islands ski rental to get equipment. We started skied, Wed, Thur, Fri. Went to Breck on Sat. Skied Sunday and Monday. Ollie basically skied from the opening until closing each day except for one rest day. Others started a little later each day but ended up being the last ones off of the slopes each day around 4PM.

On Monday, Feb 22nd, we celebrated Peter's birthday. Our friends, Gary & Melody, Dave & Marilyn, and Ken & Mary stopped by for the celebration.

Helen first met Peter will doing a JD Edwards project in India. Peter worked for JD Edwards out of London. When we were in London in 2007, we would take the train up to Harpenden to visit Peter and his family. In 1979, while Rick was working in the UK, he lived in Harpenden. On our recent trip to Botswana, we met another couple, Rob and Elaine, from Harpenden. Small world.
