spring break

we are just finishing up our week of spring break. we each took a turn at being sick for a day, but we were able to fit some fun stuff in too. on wednesday we went to the cities and stayed in dad's condo. we went and saw dad at his office, then headed over to the condo to hang out with mom. that night we went to dinner with linda, john, laura, lucy, mom and dad.


they actually liked all the steps up to the capitol.
on thursday we went to the capitol so jewel and anika could open session by pounding the gavel and saying the pledge. they did a marvolous job!at the beginning of session with Madame Speaker Margaret Kelliher Anderson. she was so wonderful with them. she has to be terribly stressed, but she took time to talk to the girls, and walk them through the process. it was very special and i think grandpa ward was super proud!
after they opened the session we went to the children's museum for the real fun (in their eyes).

we headed home after the children's museum. today (3/21/09) we had a shower for jackie and wyatt. it was nice to see everyone. i think jackie looks very cute, and we are SO excited to see wyatt. anytime now....

  1. that is really cool that they got to start the session. did you video tape it? we wish we could have been there to see it (and play at the childrens museum of course).

  2. no, i didn't video tape it. i thought about it, but i had to choose one or the other (camera or video). it was fun. they both took pictures to school/daycare today to share with everyone.
