The same evening, before church, we decided to invite another new friend of mine, an MK to Chile. To our surprise, we found out that her family and a missionary family to Russia, with two small children and one on the way, had already talked about going the same day as us!
So we ended up going all together...our family, minus Daddy who had a dentist appointment, some of the Wilson family, who live in Arkansas and go on medical missions trips and have a Spanish church, the Pittmans, going to Chile as missionaries, and the Holmes, on their way to Russia! We also had a brother and sister who attend that church join us as well.
It was so much fun!! If you are ever in Heber Springs area, definitely go and climb Sugarloaf! It is a steep fifteen-twenty minute hike to the top of the hill and then maybe another fifteen minutes to climb the rocks to get to the very top. It was easy enough for my friend who is afraid of heights, and yet exciting enough for me, who wanted a bit of adventure to talk about :D just kidding. ;) but it pretty much is fun for any age and any person. I think it's a good little mountain to tuck under my belt as a first time. Next step is Rishiri, an island mountain in Japan, and eventually zip lining in the Swiss alps or something, (yeah I would be scared silly but I know very well I'd say it was awesome afterwards haha! So yes it's on my bucket list. Lol)
So here are some pics of our sugarloaf adventure! ;)
The spots of color? That is Abs, me, and two of our friends. ;)
At one part we have to climb a wall and then jump across a gap. Another time I scaled over a rock blocking the path by "wall walking" if you know what that is. Or did I make up that term? Hmm. Anyways!
I don't know if this is it or not but my 10 year old brother Gideon got up by climbing a tree the whole way.
This is not a very good picture to show how it really was but this is the gap we cross.
Once again you can see it in the top left corner (someone is sitting on the edge of one side) and if you remember the picture of the boys climbing in the narrow space, you will see it is the part in the middle of the picture.
And Abigail made this that afternoon...
Have a great day!
God bless.
