Mountain Climbing

Yesterday we climbed Pinnacle Mountain with my in laws. My mother in law said climbing a mountain was something she had always wanted to do so she was looking forward to it. As we approached the mountain we pointed it out to her and she thought we were joking! I'm not sure what she had in her mind when we said "mountain" but apparently it was something much smaller than Pinnacle! Once we finally convinced her that we were telling the truth we got on the trail. Shortly up the mountain my mother in law started seriously regretting her decision! She needed to stop for a rest:

And she stopped again:

And again (this is her saying "Come on Erin, let's go!" trying to make it look like she's waiting for me!):

And again:

I have many more pictures of her stopping but you get the point! We laughed quite a bit at her and kept promising that it would be worth it at the top. When she got to the top she agreed that it was well worth it but wondered if there was a wagon she could ride down on!



Luckily going down was much easier and now she is thrilled that she did it. We even saw a tarantula on the way down!

So who reading this is going to come visit us in Little Rock and climb it with us next time?!
