Earth Day 2009

At our house, we discuss things like recycling - we put our "monkey juice" containers in the red box and we give our old toys to kids who don't have toys. We work on not letting the water run while we brush our teeth, turning off lights when we leave the room, and not flushing the toilet 1000 times just to get the pee to go away!

I wanted to do something really important and memorable for Earth Day since Jackson learned about it at school and because it's just one day. As it turns out, the universe apparently had different plans. We started the day with a picnic at the park followed by feeding the ducks and going for a Nature Walk. Then, the rain started!! So, there went our plans, but we had good intentions. (We did have the lights off for hours today using just the sunlight to light the house.)
