Our state does not have early voting.
So this afternoon my daughter and I picked up my husband from school, and we went to the polls. We were in line for an hour and a half. Kiddo did great, even though we were there over dinner hour (she had a piece of bread). I was grateful that the weather was decent, and that we voted before the sun went down. It actually dipped beneath the horizon, and got much colder, while we were in voting.
What I was really grateful for though, was the opportunity to have a voice in my country's government, and that I used that voice.
This is my child's second voting experience, and I hope that by planting the seeds early they'll go deep.
