Last weekend was the annual Live Green Expo. It's all about living green and the simple things that can be done everyday to reduce, reuse and recycle. Landry was excited about seeing Critter Man and getting in the garbage truck. We thought we'd go check out everything for a couple of hours. We ended up being there for almost 4 hours.
Let's go fly a kite! The kites were pretty cool.
Right when we got there we saw June and her family. June and Landry go to school together. It's nice that we've lived here long enough to go places and see people we know. Huge city, small world.
Landry and Brad playing with bubbles while waiting on the bubble show.
The mayor of Plano...in quite a big bubble.
Landry enjoying the Icredible Bubble Lady. It was entertaining.
Yes, that's a huge bubble.
To enjoy some cold air we went inside. Everything was about recycling and living greener. Landry is making an ornament out of cut up magazines.
Tah-dah. A glittering bird.
Back outside admiring the barn owl (I think).
What Landry had been waiting for: getting in the garbage truck. I'm not sure what it is but kids, at some point, seem to be fascinated with garbage trucks.
Inside the truck Landry got to pick up a garbage can, watch it on the cameras, dump it and put it back down. I must say, the process was amusing.
Landry and Chester Cheetah. This is funny because Pepsico makes Cheetos. Brad will have to use this picture as his background on his work computer.
Critter Man and a Texas tortoise. Are you surprised Texas has it's own tortoise? Ha, ha, ha. Ahh, Texas.
A prairie dog. It was so cute. We would have stayed to see more critters if the seating had not been directly in the sun. Moving on...
Well, if you're going to have a milkshake why not burn some of those calories making it? Staying with the whole "green theme", you're saving electricity this way.
Landry and Daddy writing about saving water. Landry was more interested in getting to write on the wall without getting in trouble.
Making a homemade pinwheel.
Talk about workout, there's no seat! There's also minimal impact on the knees.
