Weekend Recap: Pinnacle Mountain

   Hope yall had a great weekend! We sure did.  Friday Minecraft came out so we spent most of the evening playing. Saturday we relaxed and took the dog on a few walks. Sunday though was our exciting day we hiked a mountain!

   Minecraft is a video game on Xbox if you didn’t know. Now typically playing games is not something you will find me doing, but this one I love. It is basically building and breaking blocks and I play the mode where you can’t die and things aren’t attacking you. It sure is fun!! Now Hubby enjoys playing the mode where you can die, no surprise there he likes a challenge, and he enjoys playing that way with his friends online while I watch.  It was a great way to spend Friday evening.

Saturday was full of wearing out the dog who is soooo energetic. We went on three walks and she still could have done more.

   Sunday we hiked up a mountain. Pinnacle Mountain in Maumelle is a lovely state park with a lot of things to do. This time though we just hiked one of their many trails, this one was the more difficult of the two that went to the summit. Now let me just say, I don’t really do hiking, I enjoy being outside and even biking but hiking is a whole other ballgame and it is not something I just do because I’m bored. Hubby though loves to hike so I said let’s do it. It was a gorgeous morning and the perfect temperature in the low to mid 70s.  We went to the store got some lunch, water and a few granola bars and headed out to Maumelle.  We found the trail head for the West Summit Trail and off we went. It was absolutely gorgeous the whole way up, and the top was awesome.

basically this says that this trail is difficult and involves
strenuous activity.

Lets get this started!

There were a lot of rocks in the trail to make steps

the way up we got to see a lot of trees,and lovely views 

This was the first boulder area, not to bad.

Hubby was having a blast!

this was the next boulder area, yes we went up that...
this is where it got hard

I took a break and sat on a rock, notice the smile is forced ;)

I had been crawling up at this point, but it sure looks awesome

WE MADE IT!!

It was just absolutely beautiful!

The beauty that God created is incredible and so easy to forget. Take a moment this week and just reflect on the gorgeousness of nature. Have a great week and be sure to stop by Wednesday to get a recipe for an easy throw together stir fry.
