Here is Brianna pictured with my former high school science teacher, Mr. Jim Collins who is one of the founders of the Earth Day celebration at the National Guard Armory in Bismarck. He was helping the kids make their rain sticks this year. It is always fun to see him. He really was one of my favorite teachers!

Mr. Travis decided to get his face painted like a pirate while at Earth Day this year. They even had someone making baloon shapes for the kids so naturally he had to get a sword! Doesn't he look scary!

Here is Travis listening to a presentation on water quaility. The woman who was doing the presentation told me later that she was really impressed with the kind of questions Travis asked her. She was also impressed that he knew what "cover crop" was and what "no-till" meant! Not bad for a kindergartener!

Here are the kids with a weed at this year's Earth Day Celebration in Bismarck. We have gone every year since they started it 3 years ago. The kids always have a lot of fun and we learn so much about how to take care of our precious mother earth.
