WE LOVE SKIING!!




Skiing is what gets us through the winter here at this house.  I even paid hundreds of dollars to buy Erin new ski clothes to get her comfortable (she hates miss-fitting hand-me-downs) so she would start skiing with the family again.  She got to use them once until they accidentally got thrown away.  How does that happen you ask?  Well a well meaning daughter put them in a garbage bag so they wouldn't get her other clothes wet after a cabin trip and upon leaving we had to haul our own garbage out.  Well you can picture the rest of the story.  Mom grabbed bags in van and tossed them  in to the big garbage bin.  goodbye clothes, gloves, hats, coat and pants.  So sad.  Back to hand-me-downs for the rest of the season.  They sure looked hot for that one ski trip though.  

Russ and I signed up for classes at Brighton.  I got to ski with six very fun friends.  We had a crazy, fun time.  Russ skied on Saturdays with David Fonda and we would join him for the afternoons.  We love skiing.  This Friday we have organized a couples night ski with our neighborhood at Brighton to end the season.  It should be a blast.  If we can just leave the mountain this year with no injuries.  Somebody on the night ski always manages an injury.  Why do we continue to do this??....because it keeps us young.  So we think!!
