Earth Hour

Not quite every year of our marriage, maybe three times, we participated in Earth Hour. Earth hour is too help bring awareness about energy conservation. Although this year, they said it was to take a stand against global warming or something. Either way, it was something to do. An excuse to turn off all our lights and the television. Here are some snapshots of our mini black out





One of our flashlights hanging up, getting ready as time was counting down to 8:30




My flashlight and my activity for the next hour. How could you go wrong with a great book and a snugly blanket?






Rob was in a mad dash to try and finish his shredding project.




And then the lights went out...








I finished my book. Great! Pick it up and read it, really good.





Rob did finish in time and spent the next couple of dark minutes cleaning up after himself.


All in all, it was good. Whether it was to increase awareness to energy conservation, global warming, or just to our own dependency on electricity, it was a good time. Kaelin even wanted the night light off so she could do Earth Hour also.
