One of the things that Jamie and I have grown to love since moving to Colorado is snow shoeing. We both enjoy being outdoors, plus this is a great/fun way to exercise. REI is a store that is all about the great outdoors. Most of the time their stuff is expensive, but every quarter they have a "garage sale" for all of the stuff returned. Some can be damaged, but a lot of times it's just slightly used. On Saturday, Jamie went and stood in line 2 hrs before they opened. Some people had already been camping out the night before. Jamie stood in line and I came later with Breeson so we wouldn't have to stand out in the cold. (thanks, honey!!) There are a few different REI's here in Denver. We've gone to one close to our house, but it's a lot smaller. The REI we went to on Saturday was a lot bigger. When the doors opened, everyone began running. Breeson and I did our best to catch up. When I say "sales", I mean it. You can get Keen shoes for a few bucks. A used North Face tent for like $20. The prices are crazy. We were very pleased with our purchases (which we paid very little for in comparison to what they are full-price).
Here's our loot:
It's all thanks to Clint and Theresa for introducing us to snowshoeing:
Now we just need one of these to carry Breeson in:
