This morning, Brent and I enjoyed the privilege of being able to vote. Of course, the girls went with us. This was Bethany's first election day. Bekah was a little more interested this year in what was going on as she had just turned one the last time we voted.
Rachel, of course, was very interested this year. After the discussion between the two sisters of who was going to go with Mom and who with Dad to each booth (Bethany went with Dad too), we had a great opportunity for a Civics lesson. We learned about the 3 branches of government and about how we live in a type of government where we have the opportunity to vote for our leaders. We also talked about how important it is to exercise the privilege we have to vote.

I am so thankful for the opportunity to live in a free country where we are blessed to have the chance to vote and elect leaders. I am also thankful for the chance to teach our girls what a great country we live in and about how our government works and the importance and responsibility of voting!
