Earth Day Festival

Earth Day is actually next weekend, but our city had its celebration yesterday. Grandma and Grandpa were stopping through town so they went with E and me. David stayed home -- he has the cold now.

We also went inside the library that's in the park here, took a nature trail, and practiced stepping on and off curbs in the parking lot. This 17-month-old had a wonderful time. She was so tuckered out that when I put her down for a nap at 4:30 when we got home, she slept right on through the night!
