1,000 Steps

 Today the farm family climbed up Jack's Mountain.  It's a place where they used to quarry rocks to make bricks years ago.  In 1936 they laid these big flat stones for the miners to climb up the mountain to go to work.  I can't imagine climbing those steps everyday to work in a mine!  There are 1,000 steps and they are big flat rocks.  At the top the old stone dingy house is still there and you can tell where they used to have the little mine carts going back and forth.  It was quite a climb but the farm family is in pretty good shape!  (or so we thought!)  By the time we got back to the car, our leg muscles were quivering and we were pretty tired!  But it was great!

Starting up...notice Faith is way ahead of everybody as usual. She does everything at a run.

One step at a time.....

Still full of energy....but she's only at step 300.

 She's not really tired just posing like that to make Nathan feel better.......

See the heart they made?

Climbing 1,000 steps after milking 106 cows this morning is hard on your legs I'm thinkin'.

Yay!!  Step 1,000!!

My wonderful children!

The view at the top.

See the cross?  I could just picture their burdens rolling off of their backs as they climbed to the old rugged cross.....



                 

A cave just the right size for Faith..

The old dingy house where the cars would go in.....

Is it fall already?  We could see the leaves starting to change their color......

Headin' back down....I have to admit our legs were getting a little tired but we made it.  

Are you out of breath after climbing the Jack's Mountain with us?
