We visited the Colorado State Capitol today with our homeschool group. This picture was taken with the kids standing right at the most recent, most accurate "Mile High Marker."

The kids were all very well-behaved, so much so that the tour guide allowed us to walk through the back of back of two large rooms where legislature was in session at the time. We actually passed through as a resolution was passed and they banged the gavel!

I think we need to focus on doing more cultural things, though. As we drove up and saw the majestic gold dome, I pointed it out and said, "Look kids! That's where we're going!" Tiernan sighed, "Can we just drive through?"

PS-The twins don't normally dress alike! These are their Easter dresses from two years ago (Anya had a blue one, but she's way too tall for it now) and they wore them today because I asked them to dress nicely for the Capitol. Usually, they don't even own matchy-matchy stuff.
