Flags at Sunset

There are things to teach our children everywhere a parent, or grandparent, looks. Here is a perfect example.

Discuss with your children the meaning of the colors in the flags View at sunset from San Manuel, Arizona towards the Galiuros
The national and state flag fly in many locations. This set of flags fly at the local plastics plant.

The colors of the national flag - "white represents purity and innocence; red represents hardiness and valor; and blue represents vigilance, perseverance, and justice."
The Arizona flag - copper star for our copper industry, yellow and red rays for the sun and the colors of the conquistadors. Blue - I don't remember - maybe you can find out for me.

The importance of the meaning of color in art is another topic you can discuss with your children as you create a flag of your own that represents characteristics you might want to develop in your family.
Loyalty, trustworthyness, perserverance, confidence, are a few character traits you might discuss.
