Earth Day Festival

Sunday was the Earth Day festival at our local recycling center. The last few years I have had other plans on the day of this festival, so I was excited to get a chance to go. Paul was working so Rudy and I headed out.

There was an RV set up as a classroom that had this cool touch pad puzzle.





Rudy got a plant to add soil to and bring home. Hopefully we'll be able to plant it this week.



And of course he had to go down the big slide - not sure why he had to go down backwards, though!



The tunnel slide.



I think Rudy wants a pygmy goat for a pet. He just wanted to stay and pet and hug his goat. His name was Hijinx.









This happened several times, fortunately the goat's teeth were not strong enough to actually tear his shirt!







A pony ride.




We took a hayride to the top of the landfill, which is the highest point in our county. The view was amazing. We could see to the ocean, but the picture I took of that direction didn't turn out. The neat thing about this is that this recycling center not only provides all it's own energy, but it also creates enough to give back to the grid.









Rudy and the Supercan!
