There’s something magical about those holiday rituals we celebrate annually and now’s the best time to start establishing them for your growing children.  Are there special things you’re planning for Earth Day this year?

Earth Day falls on Wednesday, April 22nd, which isn’t terribly convenient for my family’s schedule, but we’re planning a family hike and picnic for the following weekend.  Perhaps, if I can still remember by next year, we will make this an official event.  It’s always been a bit special to my husband and me since we met while volunteering together on Earth Day of 1999.  Maybe we’ll bring some chocolate along to add a romantic flair to our excursion!  Are you planning anything special?  Do you know of any community events in which your children can participate?
