Sabbath Strolls

Afternoon church is growing on me. It gives us the time for Sunday morning hikes as a family. I love Sunday morning hikes, they make me feel so peaceful and relaxed.

This morning we wandered around Roosevelt Island. We sucked honey suckle, balanced on fallen trees, made friends with strange dogs, watched rowers navigate the bridge, watched the fisherman catch fish, got muddy, and enjoyed each other's company. It was heavenly.

Those are some of my best memories from your growing up years--Sunday morning hikes. These are great photos! Thanks for posting!

What a great idea. There's something about being out in nature that's so restorative. We got a hike in the redwoods yesterday and could really feel the effect. It was wonderful.

i just got back on the blogosphere...

this does sound nice. i've decided that having fhe on sunday (at least for now) is nice too. it makes monday a lot less stressful for me. we also went for a family bike ride a few weeks ago...i think that would be another fun thing to do on sunday mornings or evenings.

This looks wonderful - I especially love the picture of Miri and Reuben holding hands :) What a sweet duo!

Miri's smile in the second picture - such a little angel. :) I miss Reuben's long stories!
