Emma's babysitters Betsy and Molly (identical twins!) invited us to participate in what turned out to be an awesome experience. Both girls help coordinate Teen Pact http://www.teenpact.com/. It's a Christian program done at the capital that teaches kids ages 8 and up about the legislature. They did a scavenger hunt around the capital (Emma even got to take a picture in Rep. Jan Angel's office), did a prayer walk, wrote their own bills and debated them using parliamentary procedure! Emma was a bit hesitant at first (as she often is with new ideas), but ended up having a really good day. They kids who ran the program did an exceptional job at keeping it fun and age appropriate. Way to go guys!
