This week Rebecca's been studying the history of DC so every night we made her tell us something about the Capitol Building. It's been fun. I am definitely NOT smarter than a 5th grader. On Saturday we took a trip into DC to tour the Capitol Building. It was really neat. Here we are with our admission stickers on.
To begin the tour there's a really nice movie with information about how our legislative branch was formed and how it works along with some U.S. history. It was very informative and nice to sit down for part of the tour. Also, it made me cry. It's not just because I'm pregnant. I feel blessed to live in the USA. I'm also thankful for the men and women that have sacrificed and continue to sacrifice so much for our freedom. Then we went up into the rotunda. Here's Shari learning a lot and probably craning her neck to see all the beautiful artwork around the inside of the dome.
We were glad Dan got a picture with the Utah statue in the room next to the rotunda. There were a lot of beautiful statues from every state. It was impressive.
Thomas was Rebecca's little pal. She loved it. Meanwhile, Adrian took Thomas' place in the Harper's double stroller. You're a good soul, Nolan, to push that big kid around.
The outside of the Capitol Building is so beautiful. I wish we could capture the details and how impressive it is in one picture. Instead you get to look at our cute faces.
Here is a picture by Adrian. He was bugged that we were blocking the front of the building. I am pretty large these days.
This picture was taken by Charlie. I guess they're representing our MIGHTY nation.
