After a relief society workshop on becoming an educated voter inspired me, I had never approached an election so informed, or so excited.  I think I talked about it enough that it rubbed off on the kids… who always come with me to vote, and who always wish they could too.  Apparently, there is a local chapter of an organization that provides voting for kids… but when I contacted them it had been cancelled for this year.  So, Emma and Carter helped me make a box, and some ballots for kids to choose their favorite ice cream, and the people at the polling place were nice enough to let us leave the box there for kids at that location to vote.  Carter was a little disappointed when, after filling in his choice (vanilla), that there was no ice cream there.  He kept saying "But where is the ice cream???"  When I picked up the box tonight when the polls closed, it was stuffed full.  Emma made me promise to not open it without her… so you'll have to wait for the results to come in from us.  :)  It is such a blessing to live in a democracy, and to be able to vote… and it was fun to be able to share that excitement with my kids!
