X-Country Skiing





A Minnesota winter is not a winter unless there is x- country Skiing! Today was a perfect day to get out at the local park! The woods were so quiet .... I didn't know if the kids would ever get out, since our day started off on a search to find boots and skis to fit Logan. He out grew the ski boots from last year. Of corse the simple solution is to find a used pair of boots in size 3, but no such luck. We either had to #1 -pay $60 for new boots with the old type of bindings that is currently matches  the existing skis or #2 -get him the used boots (for new binders) and replace the old ski bindings w/ new ones. So we did option 2. Then had to pay for a ski season pass to the Dakota county parks. All in all, we spent around $100 for the kids to ski for 1 hour but I figure to make it worth our money,  Let's just hope the snow sticks around and its not too crazy cold to actually be outside.
