Today is Earth Day. My family and I make every day Earth Day, by reusing/recycling items, or donating them back, keeping our neighborhoods, parks and streets clean, by not littering, etc. But we wanted to do something special for Earth Day.
So, yesterday, for Earth Day, we visited our local Virginia Living Museum, to visit all the wonderful animals, and share a great meal together. My daughter also bought a Native plant, to support the Museum & to help her appreciate the Earth. She actually started her plant collection a few weeks before Earth Day; and she's done a wonderful job at taking care of it, too.
My daughter is an avid animal lover, so we headed out to the Animal Aid Society in Hampton, VA. She's a pet pal. This means she signs up to be a special friend to the pups and doggies that come to the shelter. She spends the most time with one doggie, at a time. She can walk him or her,& bring treats and toys. We even bought our own Animal Aid Tshirts that we wear when we go to the shelter.
We had so much fun; we do everytime. The only hard and pressing part about visiting the shelter is: my daughter becomes attached to the dogs so easily. She wants to bring them all home. It's so hard saying no to her. I know how much she loves animals. It's always a day followed up with pleadings after pleadings, to bring a new dog home with us.
Well, that's my Earth Day story for 2013. What's your story? I'd love to hear how you spent Earth Day. Post your story below.
And thanks for blogging with me.
