Earth Day Celebration

Mom took me after swim class to the Earth Day Celebration at a local park. We got there a little early so we played at the playground at the other end of the park first. When it was time to go to the celebration, I wanted to walk (I'm good for the environment) but mom said she didn't feel like walking back and pretty sure she would be caring me too. So we hop into the car...no go. It wouldn't start. Surprising since it's been in the shop, but mom has jumper cables and asks another mom pulling into the parking lot to give us a jump. I'm a little upset, not knowing what's going on. After mom finally gets the hood up and the car jumped off, we are good to go. But I was very upset to learn we were not going to the celebration but to the auto shop to see if we need a new battery. So on the way, I get a frosty to cheer me up, I'm very upset about missing the celebration, especially since we had to drive right past it on the way out. We go get the battery tested (mom does turn off the car to go inside the shop), and it's not the battery. So mom calls dad who's now on his way from AL to south GA (further away) to see if he has the mechanics number. Luckily I have my frosty. Anyway, moms gets another helper at the store to see about jumping off the car again so we can go home or to the mechanics. This guy starts the car no problem, Mom hugs him.. our battery cable was loose!!! So we call dad back with the updated great news and go to the park. Once there, mom parks by the police car and makes sure the car will start before we start our fun.

As soon as we get there we see our friends Emily and Nickolas.

As we are doing some recycled art projects, we are asked if we would like to participate in the next show. I can't wait.

I get to be a tree!

I'm very excited, and apparently me skirt is a little big (I think only mom noticed), but I have a great time

It was the story of the wind and the sun seeing who could get the man to take off his coat. I was very good at swaying in the wind.

The final bow at the end of the performance.

Emily and Nickalos are sheep in the story about the sheperd who cried wolf.

We got to make bird feeders from plastic water bottles, a wind chime from plastic milk jugs, and got to pick out a flower with a degradable pot to plant in our yard and then play at the playground close to the bathrooms before heading home. Mom was exhausted, but not me!
