vote. . .


We took the boys to the polls with us on Tuesday. Love that it is at the old high school close to our home. . . Surrounded by tall oaks and maples, shedding their fall colors. . . Luke loves to run and crunch through them. . .

A very exciting time. . .

We have made it a big deal to the boys about their freedoms and the importance of voting. . .

And I remember taking Jack to vote for the new president when he was so much smaller, age 2. . . clinging to my leg. . . and waiting while Sam and I took turns in the old style voting machines. . . pressing small levers for our choices. . .

And this time, he eagerly accompanied both Sam and I back to the computerized monitors. . . watching us both carefully. . . and noting that we both voted for different candidates.

He's so very observant. . . and full of deep thoughts. . .

And. . . full of funny. . . As he observed as we walked from the car to the school:
Derek said that everyone knows that Don Vacain is going to win. Too cute.
