Lights & Sirens

Last night we were finishing up dinner and Canyon came running into the kitchen yelling "Gramps there are police cars in front of your house".
We all ran to the front door to find six police cars that were surrounding a red car. The driver of the car was standing with his arms above his head. One officer was yelling at him to step backwards toward his voice and when he got close to the officers, they had him drop to the ground and lay face down then handcuffed him. There was a dog that got into the car then out then back in again.
We watched from the front bedroom and had the perfect view of what was going down. The little ones thought that was pretty exciting and that their grandparents lived on a pretty awesome street. Evan especially liked the blue lights cause they are the same color as her eyes. We discussed that the police are our friends and we must obey the law. When bad people do not obey the law then they will have to go to jail like this man did.
This morning Evan's first words were "Cops are our friends, hun Gama". "Yes, Evie, cops are our friends".
