A Beautiful Weekend

It was a beautiful 4th of July weekend in New York City.  Even though it was super hot, I managed to spend almost the whole weekend outside.  On Friday I met up with a few girls from my Fellowship Group in Sheeps Meadow at Central Park.  This is definitely the Manhattanite's beautiful afternoon hangout spot.  We relaxed on a blanket and celebrated Catherine's birthday with Levaine Bakery cookies(a must have if you visit the city)

On Saturday I "dragged" a few girls on a quick ferry ride to spend the day at Govenor's Island. 
Looking out over the Statue of Liberty on Independence weekend wasn't too shabby.  

It was an incredibly restful afternoon with a picnic in the shade, chatting, swinging, bike riding, and frisbee

After playing this frisbee game twice in FAO Swartz I finally broke down and bought it! And I am so glad I did.  It is basically 2 "trampoline" frisbees that comes with a ball that you hit back and forth.  I highly recommend it for fun afternoons in the park and on the beach.

I really love to be outside.  It rejuvenates my soul and gives me rest.  I am so thankful for summer days where I can be outside and enjoy God's Creation....even if it is one HOT summer! 
 I am also thankful for ice cream which I am completely obsessed with this summer!    "Thank you Mr. Softee for parking your trucks all over the streets of Manhattan!"
