Remembering 9-11 ...or Trying to

My great freind Bonnie had the idea to take the kids today to a special 9-11 memorial that was taking place in Sandy. We thought that even though they wouldn't understand it fully, it was a good opportunity to talk a bit about it and for Bonnie and I to take a minute to remember. Well, I don't think Arlo was feeling quite as patriotic about the whole thing as I was.... Heres some pics below

Although my boy didn't get much out of it. I was glad I did something to take a moment, reflect, remember, and pay my respects. We took the boys to the park after and they had a great time. It was a great day!
