Anna called this morning to share the good news. She summitted yesterday and spent the night at Crater Camp (18,500 ft.). I didn't get to speak with her for very long, but she did mention that they made it down to Mweka Camp at 10,145 ft. Tomorrow, they will descend another 5,000 ft. and will be transferred back to the hotel, where she is looking forward to showering, brushing her teeth in an actual sink, and eating a hamburger!

YEAH!!!!! We are so thrilled you made it all the way. We definitely want you to bring your dad when you come back to talk with us. We can't wait to see you and your pictures. I bet it was awesome!

Way to go, Anna and Ashley! I knew you would do it!!!! Can't wait to hear all about your adventure and accomplishment! What a special present for a special birthday! Congratulations to both of you!

What an inspiration you are! I'm planning on doing Kili next year (it's been a goal for about 15 years), so I'm doubly thrilled about your accomplishments. I'm so pleased that Dr. Buck (ok, he's Frank to me, as we've know each other since I was in junior high) told me all about your adventures -- it was most serendipitous that he saw my Facebook posting about my plan to go next year at the same time you were on the mountain! I'm tuning in daily to see where you are... All my best, Ann

You kept on keeping on!! I hope you brought a rock for us. I bet you will take a five hour nap when you get home. What does it feel like having your own website? We are looking forward to seeing you again.

Fantastic news! Vestavia Hills is VERY proud of you both. Anna, please see that Ashley makes it back - the Men's Chorus was noticeably short without his stellar singing voice this past Sunday.
Great job in showing the rest of us how to "get 'er dun!" Safe journey back down and back home! We are all extremely proud of you!!

Congratulations Anna. I'm proud to be able to say I know you, what an accomplishment. Hurry home, I'm having to deal with Jay in your absence, HaHa!! :)

YAYYY!!!! There was no doubt in my mind that you guys would do it! All of the hard work has paid off! You are officially the coolest people I know =) I'm so proud and happy for you!
