Field Trip

Seeing as how this week's topic is the presidency of Barak Obama, I thought the opportunity we had today was too good to pass up.  There was a tax rally on the steps of the capitol in my state.  There were many speakers, but the highlight was listening to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann.  Though she is not our direct representative - we choose to lay claim to here just the same as she does represent our state.  She is a breath of fresh air to listen to.  Both of the princesses seemed rather bored and said they didn't understand much of what was going on, we did have a good conversation on the way home about why we went.  We talked about how our freedom in America comes with responsibility; and that in order to preserve that freedom for themselves in the future, they need to pay attention to what is going on in the government and peaceably speak out when it is in the wrong.  We acknowledged that without changes in the way that our government is functioning, they will perhaps experience some of the atrocities we have read about this year.
