Barack!!

We headed up to Park City today for a Barack rally. We got there about an hour and a half early. Here we are waiting. We came armed with dump-trucks and a picnic lunch. The boys did so well!We snagged front row seats for his uplifting speech and then we all got to shake hands with Barack Obama! Barack gave Max "knuckles" & Ben added "Obama" to his vocabulary. I jokingly said a while back that if Barack ever stopped in Utah, we should go see him because we were sure to have a front row seat...not only did he visit, but he visited on a Sunday, so we had optimal viewing conditions in this red religious state. Barack originally was planning to just go to a private fund-raiser, but the paper said this morning that he'd changed plans and was going to address the public in Park City before the fundraiser, so we headed up to hear him. The paper also estimated that he might draw about 100 people - wrong! There were probably 1,000 people or so...so encouraging! I think it is very cool that he took the time to stop in Utah. This is not a state that he has any chance of winning - any Republican, especially Mitt Romney pretty much has it wrapped up - but there are more Independents and Democrats here than you might think, and we always just get overlooked. Not today though!! Thanks for showing us some love, Barack!
