Spring Break: Day Four

Today we went to every 9, 8, 5, and 4 year old's dream.....a recycling center! 

We even got to dress up...for safety.




 Not exactly our usual sparkle...but it does photo fancy!

First, we got a presentation and then it was time to see the good stuff.



120 tons of recycling enter and only 6 tons go back out as garbage...impressive!



This guy is a paper guy..so he pulls the paper that has gotten though other check-points..see the pile underneath?  That pile will be swept up at the end of the night and sent through again.


Very big piles of cardboard.


We met Grandma Dar for lunch at M-N-M's, a local coffee/diner owned by Michelle, Nicole, and Melissa.  I babysat for Nicole and Melissa....I'm sooooo old!  Very cute place.


We ordered a round of grilled cheeses and strawberry-banana smoothies..yum!



We squeezed in a round of battleship too!


Day four finished with the first day of toy sort.... 4 times a year I sort through all the toys and put them back in the rooms they are supposed to be and rotate books and toys that were in storage...it's not fun but oh so satisfying when it's done!
