Snow Day in the Sun

Yesterday I watched as my fellow Californians turned a green, summery hill into an impromptu bunny slope so that kids who grew up in the mild Californian winters could have a snow day!

How funny that as the rest of the country is having an uncomfortably cold winter, we're importing snow to play with! It adds to the surreal feeling that my life in California isn't quite real. Like I'm on a constant vacation and time has been suspended.

They turned this little snow day into quite an event-- there were Disney princesses and Star Wars villains present. There were treats and games and rides. Snowball fights and sledding beneath a blue sky and a brightly shining sun.

What a fun place for a family to enjoy themselves. That's one of my favorite things about living in California-- there are always things to do, whether you're young and single, or married with
children, or a grandparent!

There's never an excuse to stay inside.
