Matt and I got a very cool opportunity today. President Obama came to Elkhart to hold a town hall meeting and we got to go. Not because we stood in line for hours on Saturday to get tickets, but because my uncle got to introduce the President! He is one of the many RV workers that has been laid off for the past several months and he's been interviewed by several of the local and even national news stations. But he got a call this weekend from Washington, D.C. saying that they'd like him to give a short speech and introduce Mr. Obama. How cool is that! He got to walk out with him and everything. And since we're part of his family, my aunt, cousins, mom, and grandpa got special seating and we didn't even have to wait in line to get into the gym. We were lead right to the front. It was a really neat experience, to be that close to the leader of our nation and even though I may not agree with everything he stands for, I still think it is so important to support him and our government as they try to make changes to make our nation better.
On another note, I realized how crappy our camera is because out of about 25 shots, these are the most unblurry ones I got! :)
