Family Field Trip #2

 For our second family field trip we decided to visit our state capitol building. 

 Bruce was very excited to run around on marble floors and yell so he could hear his voice echo.  

 Which is what he did...the whole time.

 The water fountain was also very exciting. 

 But the real point of this trip was to teach about the importance of government and what the capitol building means to us. 

This is the view from the 4th floor down.

 This is the view from the 4th floor up.

 And this is the view from the 4th floor out.

 Bruce did not want to be constrained.

 Here is where the state Senate meets.  We discussed what they do and why it is important in a way that a 5 year old can understand, I hope. 

 She was very interested, as you can see. 

 Then we visited the room for the representatives.  It was blue.  The other room was red.  Kinda interesting.  There was one representative there working and making calls.  I hope that we were not too loud. 

 And this is the great seal of the state of Idaho, in case you couldn't tell. 

 After the capitol we went to Cabelas.  Bruce tried on hats with grandpa. 

Another great family field trip.  We finished the day off with Red Robin.  I usually get the Bonzi Burger but I got the A-1 burger today.  It was good, but I still missed the pineapple.
