OK – I love moving!  But more importantly, I love getting others moving!  So when my niece, Shannon, and her brother, Justin, came to town, we were off and running!  NYC has some wonderful movement opportunities, first and foremost in the amount of walking one can accomplish!  We certainly burned some rubber on our kicks! :)

But when I asked them to join me at Trapeze School (I try and go once a year to shake things up a bit in my life and keep me excited – on the “edge”) they were kind enough to respond “yes” without asking too many questions.  I love those kids!  So here we are, flying through the air!

Bike riding in Central Park seemed more reasonable – I just forgot to mention it was about 5 miles.  I love those kids!  They were certainly my newest BFFs!

Top of the Rock, Madame Tussaud’s Wax Museum, World Trade Center, Hairspray on Broadway, Ellen’s Stardust Diner, Blue Man Group: Tubes, shopping at Century 21 and Virgin in Times Square.  48 FULL hours!  I was a bit lost when they went back home to Massachusetts.  Yet, I felt the pride of living here in this magnificent city.

There is hope that lives in them.  There is wonderment in the world before them.  There is freshness in their vocabulary (example: “that’s sick!” means “that’s terrific!”).  There is the preciousness of life and how quickly they grow.

I'm flying!

I'm flying!
