Spencer's Capital Visit!




Since we were already in South Dakota, we had the perfect opportunity to spend a day attending a day at the Eighty Third Session of the South Dakota State Legislature. Why did we want to drive all the way to the capital to do this you may ask? The answer is very simple, we wanted to go see Grandpa. Spencer and Brian can call him Grandpa, but the rest of the state would probably refer to him as "Senator Grandpa!"











Big brother Brian got to come spend a day at the capital with Grandpa last year, so Spencer was very excited to be able to do it this year too! There were many highlights to the day, one of which was getting to sit next to Grandpa as the Senate went into session for the day. Spencer was all smiles as Grandpa introduced him to everyone!








When the session ended, Spencer and Brian hung out with Grandpa checking out his desk and all the fun stuff on it (buttons to be pushed, a microphone begging to be played with, etc etc etc...)











While at the capital, the Governor asked if he could have his picture taken with Spencer.....at least, that's the way Mommy and Daddy tell the story! Thank you for seeing us Governor Rounds, we know you are a very busy guy!
