Scott and Lori put this together last year. The evolution of their family's 9/11 Grand Stair Challenge participation. Note that their oldest boy is in fact present in that first photo...going up the stairs even before he popped out to see the world!

We love watching the kids grow up with us, one: stair step, flight, year of getting strong, at a time!

We had so much fun at Wine Walk last night and we didn’t need any wine. We had pull-ups and bean bag toss and prizes and hula hoops! We were amazed by some of the people who pulled off a pull-up!

Not far from us was the incredible HONOR WALL created by HS Area Chamber of Commerce. Fitting, as we were honoring Americas fallen heroes by having the courage to get strong!

The Hot Springs Area Chamber of Commerce’s Salute to valor continues through the weekend.
