We voted!

All eight of us. And since it was on a Saturday this year Jimmy got to experience the wonder of voting with so many interested helpers. You can believe that our kids like to have someone to root for and wanted us to explain in great detail why we were casting our vote the way that we were. We braced them for the reality that our guy probably wouldn't win, but that it was important to vote for who we thought would be best. They might have been more bummed than we were when his loss was official. They're counting down the years until they can stand in that little booth themselves and I'm pretty sure they'll know exactly how it all works. After all, they've been "voting" since they were babies.
