Little Legislators

We finally had a school holiday that coincided with a day the legislature was in session, so despite yucky snowy roads, we traveled down to Pierre last Friday to watch Daddy hard at work. Daddy was all ready for us and even had little badges for us to wear that identified us as "Little Legislators." We were allowed to sit with him at his desk on the Senate floor and Harrison even figured out which button to push to turn on the microphone at his desk! (luckily he didn't do this until after session was adjourned!)

I'm pretty sure this picture is of the exact moment that Harrison found "the button" that turned on the microphone. Notice that little twinkle of trouble glimmering in his smiling eyes???? All anyone heard over the speakers was "HARRISON PUSHED THE BUTTON!!!"
A group shot....we were a little stir crazy after sitting quiet with Daddy.... We would have loved to show off the twins that day as well, but session falls during naptime and Mom is pretty sure it would have been a bit too much to handle for them or for her to take all 4 of us down there that day :)
