He was then told to wave every time he heard a horn. He was diligent for about ten minutes, then retired.
Chris set up our stroller with 3 signs draped around, played music from his phone, and ate snacks with the kids while I held the sign. Diligent. It was great seeing all the people lined up on the streets and feeling a great sense of unity with members of our ward and stake. I guess the pioneers had to stand up for what they believed. This is our time.
Since we were right in front of Barnes and Noble I had to take a gander (since the kids were in the car!) and came out with a crisp new 2009 planner. Finally. I'll be back BandN. Soon.
We then hit the corner pumpkin patch on the way home where Dillan got to ride the "super big scary pumpkin slide" that's been haunting him for the past month. Everyday we drive by it, he would remind me how big it was, but he still wanted to ride it. He did it 4 times. Alone. I was very impressed that he didn't even need a Daddy as a buddy at least the first time. Today after school he proudly announced that he went on that slide all by himself and he wasn't even scared!
Not that I'm a highly outspoken political person, but I really enjoyed holding the Prop 8 signs and having my kids with me. No matter how much I'd like to deny it, I realize this world is not perfect and I can only wonder how much worse it will get. I think about what kind of issues my kids will face. I hope I will have the strength to fight along side them for what we believe.

I totally agree. On I-15 there is a billboard with a man's butt crack 45 feet tall. It's not just a little plumbers crack either. It's full on pants pulled down, cheeks squeezed together, A FULL MOON.
I only have a baby, but what if I had a 3 year old that can look outside and ask what the billboard means? What about if I have a 6 year old little precious princess that doesn't need to be exposed to some man's private parts? Maybe I'm a prude, but it really upsets me that this billboard is allowed to be out in public without some sort of rating or warning to everyone. I guess it's time I stand up for something. Even if it IS butt cheeks on I-15.
BTW, did anyone yell at you or throw things at you? I want to hear stories about that!!!
I wish we could have been there...we went last night and it was good! You guys look like you had tons of fun! I love how you taught Dillan and told him to wave when he heard a honk....so cute!
We must have missed you guys! We were there too. It was great to have alot of support!
Totally would have been in on that if we were still there. Way to stand up for what we believe!! It is scary to think about how t he world is going to be for our kids. I wish I could say it will be BETTER!!
Everyone keeps saying "I can't wait until Nov. 5." Well, whether this passes or not, I have a feeling this is just the beginning of our battles. But, the good things and people in this world are getting better and stronger too!
Good for you for standing up for what you believe and teaching your kids to do the same!
Somehow we hear about all of this after the signs were waving...I'm way out of the loop!
One more day. I hope you voted before you left!!!!!!! =)
