Poormans Visit

Aunt Jill thought it might be fun to explore some places in Boise so they came to visit this week. They were going to the Capital and the Old Idaho Penitentiary and not all of us had gone to those so we tagged along with them. First we visited the Capital. When we walked in we just happened on another family that was on a guided tour and they didn't mind if we followed along so we got a guided tour something we didn't expect. Ashley and Kylie are studying Idaho history in school this year so it was the perfect to do this. Everyone enjoyed seeing the different offices and parts of the Capital and hearing some stories about it.

I worried about Madison since she has only been walking on her knee for a few days but she seemed to do fine, just had to take it a little slower.
After the capital we found a place for lunch before we headed to the penitentiary. We walked around the penitentiary and explored all the buildings. While we were in the maximum security and death row building I noticed that Ashley got really quiet and looked upset. I casually gravitated to her and started talking to her to see if she was okay. At first she wouldn't talk to me but eventually told me that she had an awful feeling wanted to leave. I told her that we would walk ahead and not go in anywhere that made her uncomfortable. I could feel a bad spirit there too. She has always been sensitive to the spirit in that way and I didn't think about it before we went. I felt bad but she did fine the rest of the time. Kevin or I was always by her side and she did not do anything that she was not comfortable with. We came across these signs people could put their faces through and Kevin thought he could cheer her up by being silly and doing it with her.

She tried hard not to let it cheer her up but a smile did try to poke out. It was a fun day and I am glad that the Poormans let us tag along.
