Kiddie Park, Frisbee Golf & the Presidential Election

We'll start off with the Kiddie Park. Saturday morning we met some friends there........they've lived in San Antonio for a long time (he's been here since he was 12) and never been before! Blake rode the carousel the last time we were there but this was his first time riding the other rides.

Later that afternoon we went to the frisbee golf course right by our house. It was a beautiful day and the kids had a lot of fun and want to go back!

And a little about the election. I realize this could be controversial but I want to write it down for our records. With the coming of the election we talked to Allie about who we were voting for and why because they were talking about it in school and we wanted her to know a little bit about the process from our personal perspective. Allie, surprisingly, was enthusiastic about the whole process and would chant, "Mitt Romney" around the house. Well, Avery got in on it too but she would chant "Rock Obama" to cause drama.

Allie's school actually had their own little election on election day. Allie said they had three choices: "Mitt Romney, Rock Obama and some guy that started with a G." (gary Johnson). I asked her if she knew the results and she said everyone but 2 people in her class voted for Mitt Romney. She said her friend Natalie didn't know who to vote for so she asked Allie who she was voting for and so she did the same. She said, "because she always copies me!" haha. Even though she knew the results from her class she didn't know the results from the entire school.

That night she begged me to stay up and watch to see who the President was going to be. I knew it would be a long night so I told her it wasn't a good idea since she had school the next morning and it would probably be late. She then wanted me to wake her up when I knew. I didn't wake her up though I just broke the sad news to her the next morning. She didn't say much. After she got off the bus, though, she was very enthusiastic in telling me that, in fact, Mitt Romney had won! Too bad it wasn't true and was just from her school's election.

One last tidbit.........75% of our American Soldiers voted for Mitt Romney, I don't know the actual percentage but I would guess it would probably be around 75% as well of celebrities voted for Barack Obama. Now, if that doesn't tell you something........I don't know what does. I know who's side I would want to be on though!
