wyatt's 3rd grade class visited the local judge's chambers and grand courtroom. they asked to have a mock civil trial to see who stole the pencil sharpener (i later found out this was a true trial among the classmates). wyatt served as a jury member and they actually deliberated in the jury room and wyatt issued the verdict. he was then able to sit in the judge's chair at the bench and bang the gavel...how cool is that!!
well then i decided to not return to school with wyatt and then grace and todd went and picked up owen early and we traveled down to try to get a spot for the obama rally...no way...the line was reported to be at least a mile long...i would say there was 20,000 people there...so we went home and watched it on t.v. you can see how bummed they were...but then we walked to the ice cream truck and they were as happy as can be!
yesterday the clerk of elections came and spoke to wyatt's class and they had a mock election. wyatt at first was going to vote based on the animal representing the party, but then voted based on the candidate he thought would do the best job and who represented what he believed in...of course since we live in florida the vote was tied at 21-21. go figure!
