~Remembering 911

We had the honor of visiting Ground Zero. It was emotional and yet a peaceful place to stand. Here is Craig and Blake. None of us wanted to leave.
**LET US NEVER FORGET**
Flags blow high - in the wind in honor and memory.
We walked through a beautiful memorial area that never ended.
Amazing steel structure still standing. This was the fire station right across the street. We visisted them, thanked them and bought some t-shirts, sweatshirst and hats. Out of respect we chose not to take pictures. They were very sweet firemen.
We HAD to take a picture with some New York cops in Times Square! They were funny and we love the way they talk.
WE LOVE NY!

When were you all in NYC? We were their with our girls in July of last summer. You have some really nice pictures. I remember too how peaceful it was even though you were in the midst of a busy city. I love your blog and your family!
