April 11 was Homeschool Day at the Capital in Denver. Brenda went with our family. Her Uncle Phil Brown is the Chief Sargeant of Arms for the Senate. We got to meet him and he had a senator invite our family into the Senate! We got to sit in on discussions of 2nd readings of some bills. Brenda's cousin, Lori Brown, also works for the Senate, so we got to meet her and Brenda and she visited. 
Uncle Phil grabbed a couple of miscellaneous Senators and the other two Sargeant of Arms he works with for this picture with Brenda in the Senate chamber.
We climbed the many steps to the dome, which hasn't been open other times we have been there since 9-11.
At noon, the homeschoolers had a rally on the west side of the capital, which was said to be the largest homeschool rally attendance ever. We celebrated 20 years of the legality of homeschooling in Colorado. In this photo, you can see some of us in the front, right of middle. Also the Cruzes and the Mendezes are nearby.
This is only the middle section of the crowd. There were probably twice this number on the sides that are not pictured.
