When we found out about the "Ladies Ski Day" at Pico Mountain last week while skiing with Ben, we knew we would have to come back and take advantage of this deal again. So although it was a school day, we played hooky again and headed back over near Rutland, Vermont for another fun day of skiing. One of the greatest travel buddies we have discovered recently is the audio CD children's books. Over the past month or so we have read "Indian in the Cupboard", 4 books in the "Boxcar Children" book series and are now listening to "Stuart Little". I love this because the fighting is practically nonexistent with these and the kids no longer constantly ask for a Kindle to play video games on as we travel. I am hoping this leads to Robby enjoying reading a bit more and I am also enjoying listening to some fun children's books.
We had a great day at Pico and were able to ski a little in the morning while Eli was at the Daycare center. After lunch, we all headed out for some more skiing. We had a fantastic time until Maddie's elbow got caught in one of the lift safety bars near the end of our day. She was pretty upset about it and wouldn't move it the entire way home. Luckily her funny bone healed just fine and she was in fine spirits by bedtime that night.
One of Maddie and Robby's favorite parts about Pico is the smaller lifts that they are allowed to ride on with each other and the smallest one that they can ride all by themselves.
After an upsetting pack up with Maddie howling about how badly her elbow was hurting, she promptly nodded off for a nap most of the way home. She is actually wearing Robby's sweat shirt after complaining that she was freezing cold :)
