Earth Day 2010

After all the winter snow melted and a few windy days, I've noticed a tree line by our house that had a LOT of trash.  Every time we pass it, I mention to the kids that someone should be out there picking up all that trash.  Well, today on Earth Day I packed some rubber gloves, four trash bags, our boots, long pants and some bug spray.  We were the ones to go out and pick up the trash!

After about 20 minutes of dodging thorn bushes and swiping ticks off our legs and loading four bags of trash, the fun was over.  We drove by the tree line again and we were proud that we improved the view.  We were not able to get it all, but the next time we have nothing to do and /  or the kids are "bored", I now know what we can do!
