A Child's Perspective

I decided to invite a special guest to post on my blog today.  I may have a guest posting from time to time but I am especially proud of this one.  
Nathan recently spent a day with Peter at the Arizona State Capitol learning what his dad really does all day.  Here is his report:






My Day at the Arizona
State Capitol

First, Dad and I drove to the capitol.  We listened to music while we were driving.  
When I got there, I met the security guard.  Next, we had a meeting with Mr. Court.  We saw things that his dad carved like an elephant cane.  After that, we had some coffee and I did some school work.  

Then, we had a meeting with the Speaker at 11:00. 
 

 
 Then, I had a good lunch with Dad at a Vietnamese restaurant.  
 
 After lunch, Dad made some calls and I did more school work.  
Then, we watched the caucus on a little TV in his office.  Then, I met Mr. Victor, Dad's boss.  After this, I added some papers to my book that the Speaker gave me.  The last thing we did was another meeting.  I had fun.





Who knew that being Counsel for the Majority could be so easy..haha.  I really love the child's viewpoint.  He was way more interested in the carved items in an office than the conversation that took place.

Writing an article is a great follow-up to any field-trip.  They really love to pretend to be reporters, jot down notes and take pictures, and then write a news story about their day...or what really goes on in the capitol...haha.
