Election Day fun

The boys and I drove to Wichita on Monday afternoon so that I could vote in person on Tuesday.  I'm pretty sure that I've never cast a ballot in person, so it was fun to stand in line, make my choices, and get a sticker.  The ballot in Kansas is pretty straight-forward on the local level--it seemed like about 90% of the people running were unopposed Republicans so voting didn't take too long.  Still, I'm glad I got to exercise my right to vote in person this year.

Dan and Ben weren't too excited about the democratic process (Dan was convinced we were going "boating"), so we found other things to do.  My mom had read about a towing company that has a tow truck painted just like Mater (from Cars) so we had to check that out.  The boys loved it!  After seeing Mater, we stopped at a new-to-us playground in Riverside Park.  Dan and Ben loved the zip line!  I would lift one of them up, make sure they had a good grip on the bar, and then zoom them over to my mom so she could catch them.  We need to find a playground here that has one of those!

Dan was a good little boy and always very curious.
