My Dad was sworn in for his 3rd term as Attorney General for the State of Utah last Monday. The crazy Governor thought it would be "green" to hold the ceremony outside on the steps of the Capitol instead of inside which would require extra lights and heat (oh wait....people work in the Capitol everyday so no extra lights or heat needed) so we sat outside in 20 degree weather.
The highlight of the event was David Archuleta singing The National Anthem. Although I prefer the more rugged David Cook, I must admit, the kid can sing!

President Monson gave the closing prayer. We were hoping to be able to shake his hand aftewards but he left right after the ceremony.

(I think Pres. Monson was either very moved or very tired and cold)
Mr. Archuleta likewise left right after the ceremony so no hand shake or autograph from him :(
Adam wasn't all that thrilled about being bundled up like this.
But this is how he passed the time.....Eskimo Kisses over and over between Nat and I. Apparently Channel 2 News filmed it and showed it as part of their news coverage.
My famous son!
And this is how Adam kept busy while we were waiting for my Dad to finish mingling. Are you allowed to slide down the banister at the Capitol??
