When we arrived in the campaign headquarters, the stage was set for the candidates to arrive. We were greeted with campaign workers who offered us blue Thing hair hats, coloring pages, ballots, crayons and water or lemonade. There was fun music playing and some of the kids were dancing. Face painting was also available and some of the kids did that too. The press secretary called all the kids to come sit on the floor up front. He spoke to the kids about the importance of voting and how we vote everyday with the choices we make.

The candidates arrived, Cat in the Hat is running for president and Thing 1 and Thing 2 are running for the first ever duel vice presidency. They greeted the children and gave hugs and high fives. Then it was time to collect and count the ballots.

I’m not ashamed to tell you how I voted!

When all the votes were counted, the literacy ticket won in an unanimous vote!

Next we joined Cat in the Hat, Thing 1, Thing 2 the press secretary and the campaign workers in a parade through the ship to the main dining room. We were given pom poms, streamers, cow bells and posters and we chanted “One Vote, Two Votes, I Vote, You Vote!” as we went.
