Mountain Life in Colorado: New Skis for Hannah

New Skis for Hannah

It's 20 degrees outside and there is a little snow on our deck and in our yard.  7 days ago, on Facebook, I wrote that winter was on the way.  Well, I'd say our beautiful, beautiful fall is over.  Winter is here.  As long as it's 20 degrees out, I'm calling it winter.  It makes it super easy to sleep, or lay under the warm covers, until late morning.  The girls and I didn't even get up until 9:45 today.  I got home from work last night at around midnight and they were still up.  They watched a movie that had just ended and when I walked in I was pleasantly surprised with them saying hi.  Hannah was so excited because she got new skis.  And they're not rentals.  Jack went to a local used sports store here and walked in and, lo and behold, there were skis and Lange boots on consignment for $140.  That was the cost for both.  They happen to be in Hannah's size and for that deal Jack couldn't pass it up.   It was cheaper then the rentals.  Needless to say, Hannah has her first ever, own pair of boots and skis.  And at a great price.  What a lucky break.  Now, we need to get Jordan set up.  Again, she could care less.  Give her the beach. 
This picture is so bad but Hannah wanted me to post it.  It looks like one of those crappy pictures that you see on ebay that makes you NOT want to buy what they're selling.  Fortunately, we aren't selling these.
