HAPPY EARTH DAY

Happy Earth Day, Everyone!
So in honor of Earth Day, Gavin and I decided to plant a flower in the pot on our front porch.
He wanted to be in charge of dumping out some of the old potting soil to make room for the fresh stuff.

Digging the hole. I had to explain that we didn't have to dump out the dirt as we dug...we just move it to the side.

Then, with my back turned, I heard him saying "Uh oh, uh oh!" Worried that he had torn out the plant, I was relieved to hear him follow up with "Hands dirty, Mom!"


I also thought that for this Earth Day post, I would add some pictures from our trip to the zoo last weekend.


My camera doesn't capture the pure look of laziness on the face of the cougar perched up in the tree. Actually, it doesn't really even capture the cougar all that well. I just thought my two fellas were awfully cute.

That day was the Elephantastic birthday celebration for Packy so they were handing out elephant ears...not the edible ones, unfortunately. :)

I think Gavin liked the aquatic displays so much because he could get right up there next to the animals.


So go show some love to the Earth today!
