Happy Earth Day!
Admittedly, we didn't plant a tree. But we plan to tomorrow...
We went to Zion national Park yesterday. (a short day trip from LV, so no camping required) Hiking, hiking and more hiking with the promise I gave the children that they would see something GRAND! Ethan argued that the Grand Canyon is bigger. He hasn't even seen it, but it must be massive in his mind, because he was awestruck with the size of Zion's mountains.
My favorite was our last hike of the day, The Canyon Overlook Trail, which we finished just in time to watch the sunset and head back down before it was too dark. It's varied landscape kept our attention, not to mention the adrenaline-pumping steep drops along the way. We safely positioned in front of a rock for a picture.
My cute kids picked up litter in at Zion National Park. I'm so proud of their efforts.
Glen went green well before Earth Day. Recently, he changed all the lightbulbs in the house to energy efficient bulbs. Those spiral bulbs are definately not a decor statement, but they're using less energy. And supposedly only have to be changed every 7 years. We'll see...
I came across this website today. What a nifty idea with a huge impact. www.cleantheworld.org It's easy to donate soap, so do it.

Looks like you had a blast! Love Zions :) Glad to hear you guys are enjoying life & having fun with the kiddos. We put those energy effecient bulbs in a couple years ago & have already changed out at least 5 of the 20 we got....so don't really know if they are that great - it could be they don't jive with dimmers though. :)
