Earth Day

I've really come to love the Chatthoochee Nature Center here in Georgia. We went for the second time for Earth Day and I was once again amazed at how wonderful it was. I took a lot of pictures but can't really post them all here. I did post them all on my facebook page so hopefully you can see them there.


The trip once again started with a fun bus ride to the center. Matthew and Emma were so excited! There were so many activities to do there. We made fun crafts out of recycled items and planted our very own seeds in small pots. We got to meet Captain Planet and members of the Atlanta Falcons. We made bird feeders out of used water bottles. We got to see and pet a snake and visit the regular animals at the center - the Beaver and birds like the Bald Eagle, Owls and Falcons. Emma got her face painted and while we waited on her Matthew ate some of the free fruit and organic pizza they were promoting. Emma made the coolest necklace out of a plastic grocery bag and Matthew's favorite thing was listening to the Billy Jonas Band. They were amazing!

The children behaved like perfect Angels. It was perfect weather and another unforgettable day!
