Capitol building

As we were driving downtown to the "drum" the boys spotted the capitol building.  As they have recently studied government, they were well aware that the governor works here, what his name is and that he leads our state.  They begged to go take a tour and see inside.  Since, the basketball game was over by 10 am, we went right over and took a tour. 


The tour guide gave the kids some stickers.  Avery points out something on the brochure. 











Avery was too tired to walk from the parking garage to the capitol building found some reserves in order to run up and down the stairs to each floor of the capitol. 











Tate and I agreed that looking over the edge of the top floor makes us dizzy.  Everyone else thought we were weird. 

Time to ROLL!  Luke says, so the kids log rolled down the hill in front of the capitol. 

It was fun to see the kids excited about Texas history and government.  Before we left, the kids made a pit stop in the bathroom in the capitol.  It was taking a while, so Freddie went into the boys room to find out what was going on.  He overheard the following conversation between Tate and Luke:

Tate (looking into the urinal):  I bet that is the governor's pee. 
Luke: Hmm, I bet you are right.  Although, it looks kinda like apple juice. 
Tate: Yeah or maybe even orange juice.  But it could be the governor's pee. 

We laughed so hard over the speculation that occured in the "governor's bathroom."
