Healing Field

On Saturday we went to Tempe to visit the Healing Field. It is park that they fill with flags each representing victim of 9-11. Attached to each flag is the name, age and a small bio. What a breathtaking and overwhelming sight. All the flags and the sound of them flapping in the wind, what a great tribute.
We walked up to the bridge so we could get a good panoramic view.
After we left we took a drive down Mill Ave.
We also stopped at an Oriental marketplace to look for POG (Passion-Orange-Guava) juice. You can get it everywhere in Hawaii and there is nothing that compares to it! We did find some in a can but it is just not the same. Interesting store I might add..live fish, frogs, crabs and fried fish heads to name a few. They also had an entire aisle dedicated to Raman noodles, every kind and brand you could imagine.
In closing I would like to add how grateful we are to live in America and have the freedoms we enjoy. May the Lord continue to bless our country and may we never forgot 9-11.

Birthday Party for the Boys

So we FINALLY had our combined family party for the boys. They actually were the lucky ones because they each got a cake on their birthday, then another combined cake and more presents because their relatives spoil them! Okay, well they did get more presents from us too, but hey they are only young once!!
