"Mom, why do we celebrate Memorial Day?"

"To help us remember family and loved ones that have died. It is also to help us remember the people who are in the military that help to keep us safe and free."

"Oh, do we know anyone dead?"

"No, but we can be thankful for what they did."

"Okay, but I'm just going to remember our family that is alive."

"Good enough."
So... after putting out our RED WHITE AND BLUE - we spent the day with ALL our Arizona family and remembered all our other family that  couldn't be with us. We love you all!

I'm glad you're all alive, too...:) Wish we could have been there with you all - we did the same at Jenny's house. Are we all related or what? :)
