Homeschool Day at the Capitol

Tuesday was Homeschool Day at the capitol in Olympia. With Zack and Andy doing Washington State history this year, we figured it would make an excellent field trip.

Will took this picture of the capitol building

Hall of Justice

 

As usual, it was fun to see friends and hear from the Christian Homeschool Network about what is going on with them. But our favorite part was hearing from the state legislators themselves. It’s great to hear them talk about their faith in Jesus and their hope for our country’s future! It really motivates you get involved and make a difference…

We also got to meet Senator Benton, visit the GOP caucus room and stand on the floor of the Senate! The senator has had an all-homeschooled staff for the past 6 years!

It’s too bad they had so much trouble with sound because it meant we missed a lot of what our speakers were saying. :o(

We could hear what they said as long as they were facing our direction…

They also prayed for each of the legislators after they spoke

     

They even had homeschool students come and perform

Despite the sound issues and the pouring rain, we still had a very good time in Olympia. We are grateful and prayerful for the great country we live in!
