Election Day Breakfast

What a full day we had today. Gracie had fun at school, though she shared very few details about her activities. They painted leaves, and the story was about a farmer. There were Mickey crackers for snack, and Johanna wasn't there again today.

Garren and I both picked Gracie up from school. The voting location was moved to our church's social hall this year, so we just walked around the building and headed to the polls. Most of you know what a big deal elections are in this house. Long before Garren was a political reporter, I was dragged to every primary, general, and special election there was. Now, Gracie gets to go too. Daddy is big on our duty to cast a ballot, and he wants to instill this mindset into Gracie as well.

Garren, as usual, took Gracie with him to vote. He choose the one electronic machine our town has. Apparently, Gracie really loved touching the screen. I could hear her giggling as I filled out my paper ballot.

We all got stickers and headed for another Shipley election day tradition--a big breakfast. We drove to Winchester and had our fill at IHOP, one of Gracie's most favorite places to eat.

We lost Daddy for the rest of the day. Well, actually, he didn't come home until 1:30 am. But, Gracie and I managed to have a full day, including a much needed nap!
