Sunday 911 Family Life Fest

My brother-in-law called us

to tell us that his church,

along with 4 other churhes,

located in beautiful

Sturgeon Bay, WI,

sponsored an event called

Community Praise.

It was to honor not only

those people that lost

their lives on 9/11/01

but to honor all those

servicemen and women

that lost their lives,

or dedicate their lives,

to protect all of us.

They had a big rubber

playground set up for

the kids to enjoy.

AND they fed everyone..

The food and drinks were free!

Little Miss Ria sat a spell in the sun..

We won't tell you that

SweetCheeks ended up going

down the slide DROP

the wrong way and hurting her neck.

She recovered enough to walk

front and center

and stand in front of the stage

where she proceeded to

whirl and twirl.

She thought all the clapping was

for her.

We let her think that because

all too soon she will know

that she is not the

center of the

entire universe.

I can't believe I didn't

get a picture of my

brother-in-law.

He got up and told

a beautiful story.

I guess I was crying and

didn't think to get my camera out.

Several service men

joined together on the stage

for the

Pledge of Alligance.

It brought tears to everyone's eyes.

But the biggest tears were

in my own eyes

when I looked over and

saw this....

Our little SweetCheeks

honoring her country.

God bless us all...

maybe this next generation

will get it right~
