Matthew and Jared climbed Mount Olympus today. It was their intent to summit (meaning make it to the top) but I got a call about 1 pm saying they were really close but Matthew's fear of heights became too much and couldn't go any further so they were heading down. It was after 5 when they were finally off the mountain. I am grateful that I prayed for their safety throughout the day based on their stories (slipping, sliding, chest pains, exhaustion, dehydration).

We all thought they'd be home about 1 pm so Aaron and I spent most of the day waiting, though I finally decided to quit waiting so much and get out of the house about 12:30. We went to KMart and then got 25 cent ice cream cones as a treat. Most of the waiting also involved listening to Gregor the Overlander and the Code of Claw though. We played on the Wii together and then got word J & M were off the mountain and ready to eat. We met them at Burger King for dinner.

It had been the plan to go to Hollywood Connection as a family, but the mountain trek took everything out of them. The unfortunate thing is that the groupon expired today, but the good news is the voucher will pay for them to go on Monday without having to pay out any extra cash. We won't get the value of 45 extra tokens, but at least we can get in for 'free'.
