Pinnacle Mountain

January 18th (MLK Day) John & I took Reeses and hiked Pinnacle Mountain.
I think everyone else had the same idea. It was very busy. The weather was also unusually warm for January...it was close to 70 degrees.

It was a struggle to climb up with all the people hiking. Also we had to slow down or stop all together several times because 2 women broke their leg coming down the mountain and the park rangers & EMT's were treating them.

Here is a view from on top of Pinnacle. I'm going to try to stand in this same spot every month and take a picture. It'll be neat to watch everything bloom & change.

"everything the light touches is your kingdom"



Reeses was so tired and hiking back down the mountain can be tricky--so we put Reeses in the backpack. We thought he was going to freak out but he actually loved it!


He ended up falling asleep on the way down.

It was an awesome workout. I can't wait to go again next month.

That looks amazing! And I'm not just talking about your hottie husband!

I am super jealous that it's 70 degrees. I think we are floating somewhere around 17.

And what a great idea to take a pic in the same place every month. Can't wait to see them!

What a great idea, about taking the photos every month. That will give you incentive to really stick to it.
You two look awesome together. Reeces too, of course! :)

That's gorgeous! I have a little spot here that I always want to photgraph each season. It's not very outdoorsy more of a pub. I might try it.

What fun! And y'all got some great photos!!! Reeses is a sweetheart! I don't think I could get Rafa to sit still enough in a backpack even if we did wear him out.
