The things we do for a little white stuff
Yesterday, Tim proclaimed there was snow on Mt. Diablo...lots of it. It was freezing cold so there was really no reason to doubt him. We decided to bundle the kids up and take them to our bay area mountain to play and sled in the snow. Long story short.....the trip was freezing, foggy, scary, and included a 10 mile winding road that caused Mommy to, well....let's just say I felt the queasiness in a pull-the-car-over kind of way. Oh yeah, did I mention we never actually made it to the snow? That's right....they closed the road at the top of the hill and some people parked and made the 4.5 mile uphill trek to the snow. We Californians go crazy for a little white stuff!!! We took one look at each other and headed back down the hill. As Sophie said, "It's ok Daddy, maybe another day!"

Another Ohio thing....when it's Thanksgiving and Christmas we have to have snow!!
we're just as crazy here too...Tuesday night, Matt interrupted my book club to inform me that he was leaving to go skiing right that very minute. A little rain and snow potential makes us So Cal people go nuts!!!
Insane. So why didn't you do the 4.5 mile hike with two kids? I love that Sophie was so understanding about it, she is so cute!
Personally I like Mt. Diablo in the summer when it is warm! If you want snow so bad move back to Ohio - we'd love to have you!!!
