We had a fun day with Grandma Mac celebrating her 63rd birthingday. We took her some pickled eggs we won at the auction. Nice and fresh and yummy and spicy. And you can see she loves her grand kids sooo much and loves making wonderful costumes. This is my little mermaid. Grandma did so good on all of these beautiful creations. She's made 5 so far for all the girls, each one a little different. It's SO fun. We wish it was Halloween every day! We are ready for our fav holiday!
Then we went to Mimi's Cafe for breakfast, our fav meal there. Yummy eggs Benedict and quiche. Just the girls.
Then we checked out this lovely exhibit in Sandy called the Healing Field in commemoration of 9/11 and the Ellis Island immigrants. It was very interesting. I remember watching the events of 9/11 on tv and just feeling absolute dread and sorrow. My first child was just an infant and I remember just holding him tight and crying. Then a couple months later we were heading to NYC to see my sis who just moved there. It was a sobering experience seeing the smoking grounds from the top to the empire state building. Very very sad. We were very lucky not to have lost any of our loved ones but it still was so awful!
It was a perfect and beautiful day with all of the flags waving in the cool breeze. We took a test they gave as a mock ceremony and then we were sworn in as citizens. Neat. It was a fun day with my loving mom. Love you Esther!

Thanks for sharing the pictures. The costume is really cute...is she going to wear it for Halloween you think?
I miss NY...it still is hard to believe 9/11 occurred...even going to live there just after it happened...kind of sureal. Thanks for sharing the pics.
Love ya.
I've been to that flag exhibit in Sandy before and it's so beautiful. Now that we're back East I realize that 9-11 impacted people here much more than in Texas, where I was living at the time, and probably Utah. Still, though, the whole nation mourned.
