Snowbird

Snowbird has a special place in my heart. Growing up my grandparents and an aunt had week-long timeshares during July and October. It's at the top of the list of my favorite places.

Andrew was actually introduced to Snowbird a year ago; but he doesn't remember much. A week old's memories do not last long. I'm hopeful that we've managed to give him some memories this time that might at least last as impressions for future years.

Success!

















Snowbird has cooking with Grandma

















Snowbird has playgrounds
























And importantly, Snowbird has swimming

Kick kick kick


Jumping in

Splash!

Rubby ducky you're the one!

Time to get out

Wet hug
This last picture has story behind it. Debbie was standing next to the pool while we were swimming. Andrew was playing on the steps. Andrew noticed Debbie, climbed up the stairs, crawled out of the pull, walked over to Debbie, and gave her a wet leg hug. To use Wendy's phrase, "SOOOOOO Cuuuuute!!"

And unfortunately snowbird ends:

Packing up and heading home

Wendy and Ben's Story - Snowbird

My family through the generosity of several extended relatives enjoyed access to two week-long timeshares at Snowbird ski resort.  Every year twice I year, even when school was in session, we got to spend a week at Snowbird.  Snowbird is a great place to be a kid. There’s all kinds of activities. Lots of rocks to climb and lots of woods to play army in. Many of my favorite childhood memories revolve around Snowbird and my experiences there. I had to introduce Wendy to a place that had so many memories for me.
