She was selected as one of two Senators to represent Oregon at Girls Nation in Washington, D.C. She will never forget this moment.  We may be at opposite poles, politically, but I am very happy for her. All the girls (Anya is in the last row, 4th from the left):  |

How exciting that must have been for her! Even if you're not a fan of the President, it's still a really cool thing to actually meet him.

Anya's only real disappointment the whole week there was that she didn't get to meet Elizabeth Warren. I'm still trying to figure out how this family managed to produce a Liberal???
Gotta love 'em, though (grandkids, that is).

Small world. The girl smack dab in the middle of the first row is my daughter's friend. |

The photos are great. Did they have a professional there to take them for the girls or did you take them?

The photos are great. Did they have a professional there to take them for the girls or did you take them? The WH arranged for the photos. No cameras where allowed when they met the President. We've been waiting a month for these.  Actually, the American Legion Auxiliary, who sponsors the program, did a wonderful job of taking pictures the entire week and posting them on their FB page so family, etc. could keep up with what the girls were doing. The program is for the girls only. Of course the girls took lots of pictures also, but they were sometimes limited by access. One of the events was presenting a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns; there's no way the girls could have taken good pictures on their own. I did notice, though, that pretty much all of them were snapping pictures with their cell phones at every opportunity. |

I love how she has her hand on her chest. You can tell it's a meaningful experience for her. It would be exciting to meet any sitting president, but to meet one you truly admire would make it so much better.

Oh, what a wonderful experience for her! I can't believe how grown she is, I 'met' her online when she was such a wee little thing...an only child even! ha
