What do you do in Arnold CA when there is no snow? You improvise. And make do with what you got.
We spent a day at Columbia State Park mining for gold, eating old fashioned candy and reliving core memories from your fourth grade field trip.
We skied, sort of. Alva and I might not have skied for long but we did enjoy 90 minutes on the sun deck eating snacks and drinking hot tea.
I attempted ice skating and, after one lap around the pond desperately clinging on to Martin for stability, I decided I had no desire to continue. My children decided to inform me that if I gave up, I would never learn and that I shouldn’t be afraid to fall since falling is part of the process. It really does suck when they use your words against you.
And I learned a very fun fact about my mother in law: she always travels with both a potato peeler and a paring knife. Did I mention she is German?
