Our neighbor had 2 extra VIP tickets to the rally featuring Bill Clinton this evening ... I couldn't pass up the opportunity to expose Estelle to an event like this during this monumental time in our country's history.
Clinton spoke about Obama's ideas, policies, decision-making, and execution. His speech was about 30 minutes, holding our wrapt attention throughout.
It was compelling, of course.
After the speech he came off the stage to greet the people close to the front of the crowd.
People gave his staff things to sign like books and t-shirts, which he would do backstage afterwards.
Although I didn't get a picture of the actual moment, Estelle had squeezed up to the front and SHOOK HIS HAND!
Maybe this was taken while he was looking down at her ... nice hair :)
No matter what your politics, it was an amazing opportunity to be that close to the POTUS, even a former one. WOW! (The remainder of the evening was quite normal - making cookies for George's Halloween party tomorrow in class. Ah, life is good ...)

Awesome! And good for you for taking Estelle! What a phenomenal learning experience - I am jealous.
(And I shudder to think what the comment was that you deleted.)
Actually the comment was pretty funny - someone from China saying that lots of people are learning lots by reading my blog. SPAM-O!
This was indeed awesome. I don't know if Estelle realizes.
