A civics field trip

We took a field trip today to Taylorsville/Spencer County GOP Headquarters for a hands-on lesson about politics-- specifically, how a bill becomes a law, what it means to debate, what it means to be a commonwealth, and KY tradition.  Can you tell from the photos below what KY tradition they enacted?


Ella was ecstatic about wearing a big flowered hat--  NOT!


But Ava really was thrilled to be a jockey.


The big race outside... our friend, Mira, was Ava's trainer.


I was able to get Ella to smile for a minute because I promised her she could take the hat off!  :-)


The whole group, all homeschooled kids and their siblings, along with the officials from Spencer County who planned the whole thing. 


Even I learned a lot today!
