Texas State Capitol

Last weekend we finally visited the Texas State Capitol for the first time since we moved back to Texas!  It's such a gorgeous building and kids had a blast exploring both the beautiful grounds and the inside of the Capitol!

 Owen had all kind of questions about the cannons on the grounds, and tried them all out by sitting on them.

We spent quite a bit of time on the Nevada Capitol grounds in Carson City, so it was meaningful to expose another state Capitol to Owen.  Our experience started some great conversations with our little 6 year old!  Only two days after our visit, Senator Wendy Davis filibustered on the Senate floor and Owen saw some highlights on the news.  He got so excited exclaiming he "had just been in that room!"
