Earth Day

Happy Belated Earth Day

As you can imagine Earth Day is quite a big deal here in our beautiful valley. The weekend before we had a bunch of earth friendly vendors come and set up in front of the visitor's center. They gave out samples and we got to try all sorts of fun organic and earthy things. There was a children's tent and Jack and Molly made masks and got their faces painted. It was a really fun day. There were also many nature hikes and other such things to introduce people to the beauty of the park.

That night we walked up the base of the lower falls around 9pm hoping to see the moon bow coming off the falls. We saw a bit of it, but it was cold and so we left after about a half hour. Next year we have to be ready to stay later so we can really see the bow - supposed to be amazing!! On the walk up someone had made a whole bunch of rock ducks and it looked so cool. I tried to take a picture, but it was dark (you can kind of see some of them).
