We traveled from Hutchinson to Forest City where we jumped in the car with Peter's parents, Jim and Roz. Here we are all ready for the big event. Peter and I didn't dress up all fancy-pants, we thought we were going to be in the cheap seats, but it turned out we got to use some of the floor tickets after all, oh well, we were a little underdressed but no one seemed to mind.
Below is a picture of Peter's aunt and uncle Liz and Scott Brennan. Scott is the president of the Iowa Democrats, and he was in charge of this event. It was fun to see the two of them on the stage with all the big names-Nancy Pelosi, John Edwards, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Biden, Dodd, Harkin, Bill Richardson... There were many speeches...we didn't leave until after midnight.
It was a difficult trip for a mama-to-be, it's become really hard to sit for long periods of time, and we spent most of the weekend in the car, sitting and chatting with family, and sitting at this event. Nevertheless, it was a great oppurtunity and I'm glad we went.

Hi Katy,
Thanks for coming down and sharing a great weekend with us. I'm glad to hear that Baby Hemberger got a "kick" out of it too!
You are very special to us, Katy - thanks for taking such good care of our littlest grandson. We love you!

Did you check out nytimes.com? Scroll down to their videos and I think it's called "the making of a political event"
Katy and Peter,
Scott came home today and said that your blog was picked up by the Party on its blog clips (they search the blogs for news that relates to the Iowa Democratic Party). So, I had to check it out. Luckily, I remembered the address!
How fun to see baby Hemberger! I'm so glad you came down last weekend, and I can't wait to see you again!
Liz
