Capitol Day!

Today we traveled to Oklahoma City, our state capital, for the home educator's Capitol Day sponsored by OCHEC (Oklahoma Christian Home Educators' Consociation).  It was my first time to attend the event and it was a wonderful day!

Did you know that a homeschooling option was written into the Oklahoma State Constitution?  OCHEC has a saying that Capitol Day is the one day of the year when people come to the capitol to ask their legislators to doing nothing.

Governor Fallin addressed the packed rotunda.

We had a chance to meet Senator Dan Newberry and he was quite gracious to take us to the Senate lounge and talk with us for a little bit.  It's always fun to have a behind the scenes tour! 

Here is Veronica, her son Luke and Jono.

I believe this sculpture was called "The Guardian" 

Zach took a beautiful picture of the Capitol Building

The Rotunda was beautiful!

Shhh, don't tell him I told you but, Zach even recognized some Latin and partially translated it.  Woot, woot!!  So proud of him!

All in all, a great day at our Capitol and you never know the seeds that were planted today and what might become of them in 10 to 15 years....
