While we were in NYC, we visited the 9/11 Memorial and Museum. Our tickets were for 9:30am and we arrived at 8:45am. It was a very peaceful beautiful morning and the area we were at hadn't fully come to life yet. Meaning that the noises coming from our group of 7 wasn't masked by anything. We moved to the benches to wait until it was time to go in. The kids are all high energy and were climbing and jumping from bench to bench. Susanne and I were concerned the kids weren't showing proper respect and we repeatedly cautioned the kids to be mindful of anyone who could be here grieving.
The security guard decided to come over and give us a hand in handling these kids. He started lecturing they needed to be calm and respectful of where we were. In the middle of his speech Sam goes right up to him and says, "I never liked him anyway" and pointed to her brother. Oh my! Then Ainsley jumps in and says, "I never liked him either" and pointed to her brother. It was too funny.
I am sure the security guard wasn't expecting this turn of events and immediately changed the direction of his speech. He told the girls that it wasn't nice to say this; these are their siblings and they should love each other.
These pictures were taken at the 9/11 Memorial. I have to say the memorial and museum are beautiful. They've done an amazing job and it is an emotional walk through the building reliving the events of that tragic day.
