I brought my 4 grandchildren (a lapse of sanity,maybe:') but the 5 y/o and I talked a lot about why we were going on the way up. He couldn't remember the current president's name though. He kept telling people he was there to support the troops and George Washington.
LOL---one of the first thing my 5 year old granddaughter learned (other than the ABC's and 123's) was that George Washington was the 1st President of the United States...
Whenever I babysit her at my home, and the Senate is on TV--she is "forced" to learn about how the government works..LOL
She has a game of trying to figure out how a particular Senator is going to vote!!!
It was her birthday yesterday, and that is why I couldn't go to Crawford...but after reading your post...perhaps I should have taken her as a "birthday outing"...
Good answer. I too support our troops and George Washington (and his values).
LOL ~ hey, he did better than most of the folks Jay Leno encounters on his "Jay Walking" outings!
