"Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. As arrows are in the hand of a mighty man; so are children of the youth. Happy is the man that hath his quiver full of them: they shall not be ashamed, but they shall speak with the enemies in the gate."
Psalm 127:3-5

Goodbye Cape Cod…Hello Miss Liberty!

006_thumb46

Our last day at Cape Cod, we saw lots of sea lions.

008_thumb1

If you were quiet, you could here them bark at each other.

017_thumb1

They kept an eye on us the whole time.

018

We’ve arrived at the great metropolis: New York!

019

The 9-11 monument which is still under construction. When you look through the parallel monument, you are looking at where the twin towers stood.

020

God blessed us with such wonderful weather on our trip!

024

Leaving Jersey City Train Station on the ferry.

028

Ellis Island where millions of immigrants entered the United States. We figured that a few of our ancestors probably came through this island. That made it more personal.

031

There she is!

038

I think it is impossible to take a bad picture of the Statue of Liberty.

049

We had a great tour. It turned out to be private.

055

Even though we were so close to New York City, it was quiet and peaceful on the island.

056

We were unable to ascend to her crown due to construction. We’ll just have to come back!

060

Here’s Mr. Philip at his favorite part of the trip. In the first few days of our trip, we would ask Philip what his favorite part was so far. He would answer, “The Statue of Liberty.”

063

Holding our “torches” high.

067

Hello, um…Mr. Liberty.

068

“Guess where I am Papa!”

071

Good by Miss Liberty!

“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised.”

Luke 4:18
