McCain & Palin

Sophia and Chloe and I went to Cedarburg yesterday to try to see John McCain and Sarah Palin. We got there to late and were stopped about 1/2 block away. We could hear a little of the speaches, but couldn't see them. There were secret service everywhere around us and we asked them if the bus was going to leave this way and they said it was. So, we waited. When the bus came around the corner, we could see them inside waving and people were yelling and cheering. Then the bus stopped and they got out and waved some more. They walked back around the bus like they were going to go back in and then they came back around the front and waved at our side again. Then McCain spotted Chloe and pointed at us and they came over and said hi to her and squeezed her arm. McCain came over first and then said "Sarah" and pointed to
Chloe. Sarah came over then and smiled at us and gave Chloe a squeeze and asked her name. Sweet. I am searching for more video that may actually have them with Chloe on it. But here is the closest I found so far.



A little over 30-seconds into it, the camera shows a crowd near a red brick building on the corner. Chloe and Sophia and I are in that crowd right on the curb. the video stops right before he came over and shook our hands. :p

SO COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah for Chloe! I wish we had collaborated a little so we could have seen John and Sarah too! We were in the crowd that didn't get in, too. But we know they must have seen us waving to them because as the bus drove out of town, P., L., and I were the only ones there waving (at the corner of T and Highland). :)
