Volunteering for Earth Day

This year for Earth Day the girls and I went to The Living Planet Aquarium and cleaned up trash.  We started at 3:15pm and ended at 5:20pm.  My girls worked so hard and were the youngest kids there.  The other kids were all in jr high and high school.  It was a great experience for all of us.  We all split up into groups and my little girls picked up 3 bags of trash; weighing 23.5lbs, 14lbs and 5lbs.  We picked up over 50 cigarette butts and so much other trash.  Victoria said that it was the best day ever.  After we cleaned up we had a snack and then went through the aquarium.  It was just a lot of fun meeting these other kids and the volunteers at the Aquarium.  What an experience it was for my girls.
