SNOWBIRD TRIP 2018
Part 3: Monday, April 2
MONDAY, APRIL 2
This was another ski day on Chickadee. Initially, Todd would ski a little bit, then practice falling down. (And he got up by himself!). We started using the jelly beans to motivate Todd to ski more. They worked! Todd got a bean at the bottom of each run and when getting off the lift. Another strategy: I held one of his PJ Masks toy figures (Owlette was the first!) and Todd would follow and ‘chase’ us.

This was the only day that we didn’t go to the pool. In the evening, we roamed around the Cliff with our lightsabers and stopped in various places to fight each other and reenact the ‘Duel on Naboo’ scene (especially down by the valet parking).

SUNDAY, APRIL 1
We woke up to blue skies. It was Easter, so I wanted to give Todd his first experience finding and opening plastic eggs. Todd was recently introduced to the PJ Masks television series, so he was excited to get the toy Owlette, Catboy, Gekko, Romeo, and Night Ninja figures. The monkey stuffed animal was a baby shower gift from his aunt Karin, and the basket was made by his great aunt Ginny. He was a fan of the jelly beans but not the Oreos (Mmm…good for me!) 🙂

Next up…skiing! We geared up to ride and ski the Chickadee lift at Snowbird (free for guests of the Cliff). Todd quickly got used to skiing off reins. Remember– at our home mountain of Mission Ridge he skied off reins only at the rope tow area.

We started a routine of taking a snack break at the Snowbird Center.

Apres-Ski = pool time! We spent a lot of time in the pool on this trip. We brought Todd’s diving sticks and diving rings, and each visit to the pool meant meeting new kids and sharing toys in the water. Todd did huge jumps into the pool, over and over. He pretended to be Hulk on the deck (i.e., bashing over yellow cones). He did his ‘Nestea Plunge’ move (like he started doing at the end of last summer). It was so much fun!
