Remembering 9/11

In remembrance of 9/11 our town had a memorial service and had 3000 flags set up at our veterans Memorial. We weren't able to attend the memorial, Ethan had his school Open House, but I wanted to see the flags, so the kids and I drove out to take a look.The kids were overwhelmed by them all and wanted to run through them. (not such a good idea since the flags have sharp tips) but they did get a closer look.


Natalie just tried rearranging them;)
It's amazing to think of how things have changed since just 5 years ago. Just like many people can remember certain events. JFK, the challenger, (well I can vaguely remember that one) This is one of the first of things that I think I will always remember the day. Where I was, who I was with and how hard I held onto my husband and one year old son that night as we watched all the news reports. Just so Thankful to GOD that we had each other and so proud to live in the USA!
