Whittier Earth Day Event!

We just love Earth Day in Whittier! I think this is our 4th year in a row attending this event.


Star Eco Station was there with reptiles. They were educating attendees about what happens to animals that are smuggled into our country illegally. If you haven't been to Star Eco Station yet, I highly recommend it!


Decorate a flowerpot!



Claire and Ellie got to plant California poppies.


President Obama and learning about smog.

We took a great bus tour of the local water reclamation center and are looking forward to going back for a walking tour in June.

Reagan Library





Beautiful Spring day at the Reagan Library.

Claire was especially excited to see the MAGNA CARTA which was on display. She has been learning about its significance in her history class. There was a docent right by the display case and she asked him so many questions! Who would have thought a 794 year old piece of paper could bring such joy to a 7 year old.
