The day my friends left we found out that Obama was speaking on the oval in Ft. Collins. Clara and I had some time to kill as Peter was studying all day, and instead of feeling sad & lonely missing my friends I decided to head up to the Fort to try to see Barack! Well, Clara and I got in and actually saw him! I will never forget this experience for two reasons. First was how compelling Barack is live and in person. He spoke about the importance of education and investing in our future and our children. That message never rang truer to me as I held Clara in my arms listening to this great man speak.
The second reason that made this experience unforgettable was the fact that Clara is really into clapping when she sees others applaud these days. Every time the crowd went wild and started cheering, she looked around beaming and clapped herself- as if 45,000 people had gathered to cheer just for her! Ha. Priceless.
