Week of Pictures: Chocolate Factory and Volcanic Lake
Howdy!
Hope you all are having a wonderful Father's day with your dad. :)
A couple weeks ago we took a family trip one Friday down to Sapporo where we explored a chocolate factory. It was a lot of fun, especially since the buildings and grounds were so whimsical and old fashioned! :)

Pictures: Spring Sunday Drive
Howdy!
Did you notice the change in the "Pictures" banner up at top? Yep, I thought I had better be truthful about it... because let's face it, the pictures are not getting put up every week, lol!
I already have pictures on my computer and on my camera for the next two picture posts, which is a good reminder to get this one up!

Week of Pictures, Four: Tea parties, Coziness, and Comfort Foods
I don't have very many pictures this time, I'm afraid, but there are some. :) They're also not the best... many taken with an ipad, lots of strange slants etc. But at least I'm still taking pictures, right! :)

Week of Pictures, 3
Howdy, you all! Sorry it took me so long to get this up! First it was my computer acting up, then my camera decided to be a bit cranky and not load onto my computer. Sometimes, I wish everything wasn't so technological, but then after pondering that a minute or so, I change my mind. I am thankful for technology and how we can use it to keep in touch with friends, and (hopefully) be a blessing to others, through blogs, emails, etc!

Week of pictures 1
Hello!
We have enjoyed reading the responses to the survey. :) Thank you for doing that for us! If you haven't done it yet, it's still up for you, so don't hesitate if you want to do it! :)
We have several posts lined up, but you'll have to forgive us if they are slightly slower in coming-- we're in the middle of an exciting project! Daddy and us girls are in the process of finishing our room. We have been busy and enjoying doing that! :)
I thought I would share my photos from the first of January to the 6th. I know it's not a full week, but I have a couple extra, so it kind of makes up for that. ;)

| Hot Vanilla |
Hello everybody!
Last week, Abigail and I decided to test out a new recipe of something we never tried before. We picked Hot Vanilla, which sounded intriguing-- something different, for sure!

Climbing Sugarloaf
Two weeks ago, we were at a missions conference in Arkansas. A good friend of mine invited me one of the days to go climb their mountain, Sugarloaf, with her. I was pretty excited, and we decided to ask my parents about it.
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.
