Earth Day 2013

 
We love the Earth!
To start off Earth Day, we played a matching game with ways to better take care of our Earth.
We reiterated the importance of reducing, reusing and recycling - and also discussed avoiding excessive packaging and specific things around the house we can do.

 
Then we met up with GMa to explore a new nature walking path.


It was a blustery day! Hold on to that giant acorn, or you might blow away!


We saw an oak tree that's between 150 and 200 years old; and learned the symbolic importance of establishing deep roots in the Gospel. This tree's roots are so shallow that they have to fence off the tree so visitors don't step on the soil and compress the roots.
