Earth Day

So the community here decided to have Earth day on the 25th instead of the 22nd here. It was really funny because they had all sorts of things about recycling and reducing our waste but they were giving out water bottles everywhere and had only a very small place behind a display to recycle the plastic bottles but nothing for the coke cans.

Anyway the boys really liked going to all the places and playing on the play ground. They had a bounce house there but Samuel was refusing to go on it screaming and everything else. A few days earlier he met a boy named Eric, who is 5, and they have become friends, Eric even offered to hold his hand in the bounce house but Samuel still did not want to. After a while of being in the heat we decided to go home and even though most had sunscreen on the boys still got a little red.

So now to the good part. After being home for a little while and replenished with water and rest that the sun had managed to drain earlier, Samuel came up to me and said "Daddio, I am very very sad." With curiosity I replied "Why is that Samuel?" and he began on this little story explaining why he was sad. Basically he was said because he now wished he would have jumped in the bounce house with his friend Eric and that he is said because Eric offered to hold his hand but he said no.

A little later Samuel came up to me and said again, "Daddio, I am very very very proud of you." Wondering why because I had not done anything but dry a few dishes, I asked why is that. With a big smile on his face and in a fast voice he blurted out, "Because you brought me to learn about Reduce, Reuse, Recycle! I am so very very proud of you Daddio, thank you very much!"
