Anna, Matthew and Cora each chose their own slogan for their signs. Anna made her slogan up herself, while Matthew and Cora chose from a list of suggested sayings for the Tea Party website. I penciled in the letters, which they then outlined and colored in.

A family photo- it's hard to tell in this picture, but my shirt said "already owes $36,575" and had an arrow pointing to the baby. Before heading out to the protest, we studied the Boston Tea Party, and discussed the government's responsibilities and limitations as outlined by the Constitution. The kids were excited to see flags that said "Don't Tread on Me," which they remembered studying earlier in the year.
