Homeschool Day at the Capitol!

This past Friday, was our annual, "Homeschool Day at the Capitol". We start off at a church not far from the capitol, and there's skit's, speakers, and music. After that, we eat lunch, and then march around the state Capitol, letting our legislative's know that we care about Homeschooling, and Christianity.
After the rally at the steps of the Capitol, we can go inside the Capitol. I took a lot of pictures below of the Museum that was in the dome. Every year I seem to be more fascinated with the history of how the Capitol got to be there, and the construction of it. There's lots of pictures, so please bear with me! ;)
The rally on the front steps of the Capitol. They estimated about 1,500-2,000 people being there.

 To go inside the Museum on the top of the dome, you had to climb all these steps. :)

That's it, so I hope you enjoyed them! :)

Day at the Capitol


On Friday our family went to "Homeschool Day at the Capitol". I look forward to it every year! It's when all the Homeschoolers plus some come together to learn about our government, the way it works, what's going on in the world, and all kinds of other things. In the morning there was a speaker, and then after lunch we did a march around the Capitol. It was so fun! After that, they have a big rally outside the Capitol building on the west steps. (I think)

I took some pictures, which are below, but it's always nice to go there, because, well...I know so many people there! From the past, present, and hey, the future too. It was so amazing to see some of the costumes for the skit they did. As much as I'm not really a seamstress, I sure would love to get better! After the rally, we went into the Capitol, and boy was it amazing!
Hope you enjoy the pictures!
