Drippy Dropperson: Bernardo's drawing selected!

The City of Roswell challenged Roswell’s third, fourth, and fifth graders to draw pictures of Drippy Dropperson conserving and protecting water. The top 12 drawings would be featured in the new Drippy Dropperson Coloring Book that will be distributed to the community through schools, doctor’s offices, restaurants, and retailers in Roswell.

Back in November when the info came out, Bernardo made his drawing, and guess what his was one of the selected drawings, and he was recognized on March 2nd at the City Hall of Roswell. We were SO proud!

Here are some pictures of the event:

Winter 2009 activities and events

We have been busy the past few months, and now that spring is here, there is a need to post all our winter activities and events, so there is a whole bunch of photos to share...

Back in January, we answered Obama's called to service on MLK's day by helping the environment, taking out privet at the Chattahoochee Nature Center.

Here is the photo album:
Answering the call for service: helping the environment




Still on the nature theme, for the first time we visited Autrey Mill Preserve, which is so close to our house. We intend on coming back frequently.

Being in Atlanta we don't get to experience snow as before. This year, for the first time, we decided to try out the made-up snow at Stone Mountain. The day was beautiful, but the 'snow' was pretty disappointing. We learned ;-)

Here is the album in Picasa here:

And then finally we did have real snow... like next year, we had a real good snowy winter day in Atlanta.
