Although it was a super cold 20 degrees in downtown Atlanta, the kids and I had grins glued to our faces. First of all, the tall buildings, blowing horns, and crossing busy streets with so many people put a huge difference in our daily routine, and it was just exciting! Be that as it may, our destination was why we were smiling. We were headed to the Georgia State Capitol to attend Teenpact.
Teenpact is a Christian organization for children starting at age 8. They learn leadership skills, public speaking, the process of the legislative branch, creating and passing bills, and most importantly, how to stand firm in their walk as a Christian and uphold the Word of God.
We just got to the Capitol! We're ready!
This year (2015) was Alex's third year attending, and Annabelle's first year. This event has become a staple in annual family events, not so that the children can become politicians, but to guide them in honoring their country and to stay steadfast and immovable for God.
