The Capitol

Jordan loves taking the kids to historical places.
We've never been in DSM on a weekday with them and had the time to go into the Capitol building so it was fun to have the opportunity this trip.

I think Sullivan's highlight may have been the metal detector. He asked the guards a million questions and he really wanted them to put him through the machine where they scan the bags.

Lauren and Avery liked seeing what the inside of the gold dome looked like.

And its so fun that Lauren is starting to learn about government in school.
She really enjoyed seeing where the laws are made.

Avery and Tess thought we were in a castle.
They LOVED these stairs.
Seriously.
Cute!

Jordan loved the law library.

And what's not to love?
Look at all those books!
I swear it smelled like history in there.

And I miss card catalogs.
How cool is this!
