Making Plans

In just over two weeks we are headed out for our two day snowboarding date!  Getting things in order before hand has been, well, not fun, but I am getting excited.  We've got the kids taken care of for the time we will be gone.  Gotta love grandparents! 



Keystone trip-2007

I did have some unusual preparations to make before the trip.  They will all be attending a wedding while we are gone.  It is a theme wedding and Tabitha needed a fascinator.  "What's that?", you ask.  A silly little feathery hairpiece worn mostly for formal occasions.  Since we don't just have these lying around, I made her one.  It turned out pretty cute I think.



Fascinating fasinator!

Other preparations that had to be made included buying a new coat.  Not because I wanted a new one.  There was nothing wrong with the one I had.  In fact, I really liked it.  So did someone else.  Last year Tabitha left it on a table and someone took off with it.  She wasn't away from it for 3 minutes, but that's all it took.  So this year I got a new one.  Since I was making a fresh start I decided it should match my snowboard boots-blue.  Then since my pants matched my old coat-green-I got some new pants too.  Black, that way they match any coat I might have in the future.  Gotta love Ebay and Craigslist.  Got the coat there, my pants at a wholesale place in OKC, some new gloves, a board (new), boots, and bindings.  Everything for around $200.  Not bad when you consider most new boards are well over $200 alone and I saw several coats I would have like for $250+.  Can't wait to try it out! (The resort has had 11" of new snow since yesterday and two more storms coming through before the week is out!)



Sipapu-2009

In March we are going again, this time with the kids.  Hopefully we'll have some friends along as well.  You know who you are!
