Up here in Ohio, our Board of Elections uses our schools as polling stations on voting days. So Jourdyn did not have school today! Instead, at our last parents meeting, I signed her and I up to stand at the polls for the school levy. This, of course, is something completely new for me. Having her in private schools for all these years, I didn't have to worry about volunteering for levy pushing. But I thought it would be a good exercise for Jourdyn to learn and participate in our wonderful representative republic that entitles us the right to vote. She had a first hand education in civic duties! And she hated it!
Well, not exactly, she just thought it was boring, and I can't blame her. But we took along her friend Brooklyn and here are some pictures from our hour at the poll.
Rowan even got in on the action. He also found a worm! Which, of course, was the highlight of the hour. He just had to show it to every person that walked in.
