Climbing a mountain in LR!

Working for Hilton definitely has its perks! We like to take advantage of the employee discount every once and awhile! This time we took advantage and took a little weekend trip to Little Rock, AR! Random, maybe... but super fun! Aunt Karen used to live in LR and once when we went to visit we climbed Pinnacle Mountain! Brian has been dying to go back and do it again so this was the perfect opportunity! We pulled into town and went to the downtown area of LR. It is super fun with lots of neat outdoor activities! They have done a fabulous job with their downtown area!

Mommy and Vera Kate chillin on a bench in downtown Little Rock!They have a fun bridge that you can walk across! Vera Kate loved running around and looking at the water! Mommy and daddy were a little anxious most of time! HA! Walking on a bridge with your 15 month old gives you a whole new perspective of getting too close to the edge!

On Sunday we got up and enjoyed the wonderful lovely breakfast that staying at an Embassy Suite offers! After filling our tummies it was off to hike Pinnacle Mountain!
Brian carried Vera Kate most of the way up but she wanted to do it on her own at times!
It was a long hard hike but once we got to the top we were able to enjoy God's beautiful creation!
We made it to the top!!

This girl LOVES to climb!

This sweet girl was exhausted. The hike wore her out!! I thought this was such a sweet picture! Safely resting in dad's arms trusting him to carry her down the mountain! When I turned around and saw Vera Kate resting in Brian's arms... it hit me! What a beautiful representation of the protection of a Father! Vera Kate was so confident in her dad carrying her down the mountain that she fell asleep! I pray that I would be that trusting in my Heavenly Father! To carry me up and down the mountains of life! Sometimes it is so neat how the Lord will teach you little lessons through the unexpected things!!
