EARTH HOUR

Today was Earth Hour!  SOOO at 8:30 from 9:30 we unplugged everything. We lite candles and sat in the dark for an hour. Sounds fun hey, Well it was, We went to the store and bought earthy food { grapes, watermelon, stawberries }  And the kids thought it was going to be like camping so we had to get smore stuff.  We sat and talked about how lucky we are to even have power and back in the day this is how they lived. It seemed dark at first but then it felt bright in the house and it was really quiet and peaceful, we all had fun and the kids were sad it had to end. The kids want to do this once a week so I guess we will have Earth Day every family home evening, if you want to live in the past for an hour come to our house around 6 on mondays!

good for you for participating in Earth Day. I did not participate myself cause I was in Las Vegas but the city of Las Vegas participated and turned off all the lights on the Strip for an hour. It was so weird...it just looked like a normal street without all the neons!
