Romney Rally

 Friday night we decided on a whim that we were going to take our kids down to Cincinnati to see Mitt Romney.  It sounded like a great idea, the event would be inside and it was hot outside.  So we got ready to go and when we pulled up there were people everywhere.  We had to park a couple of blocks away and walked up to the building.  It was hot! When we got closer to the building we saw the line to get in went all the way through the parking lot.  It was hot! We figured we had driven down there so let's see what we can see.  The line moved pretty fast.  Once we got up to the front of the building they told us that the fire marshall was doing a capacity check.  If they could they would let us in.  After a few more minutes of sweating, crying children, almost loosing crying children, and going through security,  we got in.  They escorted us to the basement of the building, the rally was on the main floor, and had us wait in this dark crowded room.  We were still hot! At this point Brandon and I were wondering if this was really worth it.  As we started to debate if we should stay or go the speaker that we were listening to cut out and like a breath of fresh air, in walked Mitt Romney and Ann Romney.  I'm not going to lie I was star struck! The room was screaming "Mitt! Mitt!"  My kids were freaking out with excitement, Henry with fear! And it was so exciting.

 Logan got up on Brandon's shoulders and took some pictures for me, that's why the quality is so great, but you get the point!

Like I said we were in the far back of the room and they were just quickly speaking and making an appearance to us in the overflow before going upstairs to the main rally.  Mitt started to go around and shake hands and I thought there was no way we were going to get up that close.  So I took the boys and started to head back upstairs and outside.  Brandon stayed with Olivia and actually got to shake his hand. It was definitely worth the heat and the cramped spaces to see him.  My kids loved it to.  Porter now will talk smack to anyone who won't vote for Mitt.  According to him though all of the kids in his school are Mitt Romney fans! ;)
