We still had time for fun such as sleigh rides down the road in front of our house, skiing in one of the fields that had a steep slope (these skis were hand made by Dads cousin Augie (August Johnson) or Ice skating on one of the three fishing pons we had. Our skates were the kind that clamped onto your shoes. No fancy shoe skates like you have now. As we skated the clamps would loosen and you would have to stop and tighten them.

Running Head: REFLECTION ESSAY Reflection Essay Geog 200 October 27, 2012 Living in New Mexico is something I never thought would ever happen.
