As most of you know, Obama came for a visit Monday morning. Ray and one of his sister's friend had waited in line on Saturday morning for tickets. Thankfully they only waited 3 1/2 hours and were able to get tickets. They ran out of tickets 30 minutes after opening the doors. WOW! Monday morning we dropped the kids off at Ray's mom's house and made the venture over to the local high school to watch him. We weren't like some of the crazy people that waited 6+ hours to get inside; we waited 45 minutes. A very chilly and windy 45 minutes I must say. Grandma had the TV turned on for the kids to watch Obama arriving and then speaking. We were told Trevor kept hollering "mommy" and "daddy" at the TV. He was really looking for us in the gym. No such luck for him. We got pretty decent seats for only waiting a short amount of time.
The secret service on top of the school. I have to say that was one of my favorite parts of the day.

RVer introducing Obama.
The secret service gathered in a corner. And yes, the one lady is on her Blackberry and was for most of the time.
Ray's favorite part was seeing Chuck Todd from NBC.
Once Obama was done speaking, we hurried back into our car and drove over to US 33 to watch the motorcade go speeding by. I must say the minutes before he came flying by is the deadest I've ever seen 33 as far as cars go.
