Today we decided to go take a look at the Capitol building. Neither of us had ever seen it and it was so cool! Can you see Trace and I down below? If you look closely you can see a tiny pink blanky covering Traces legs. We had an accident so we were glad we had an extra blanket to cover his bare legs. ;-)

We figured that our tax dollars were spent on souping up the place so we might as well go get a good look and see how it turned out. They spent millions on restoring this. It was quite impressive!

I hereby pass a law in all Idaho lifting the sales tax on hamburgers everywhere! No more taxes on burgers!

Here we have Lisa by George Washington. Actually I’m not sure who it was. We quickly snapped the picture and didn’t think to look at the plaque that explained who it was. lol. Gotta keep that stroller moving!

TracesnewHabit

Here is Trace sporting his new habit. His lip is ALWAYS like this! I wonder if means he is on the road to lickity lips (pink licking circle around his mouth)! I had it once when I was little... not fun ;-)

Kody locking up the joint (or pretending to anyway). I wonder how many nickels you would have to melt down to make this door.. Probably a lot more than I have!

For a building well over 100 years old, this place is pretty dang nice!

It was fantastic weather today so we wandered around afterwards. Thank goodness for two strollers!
