Stone Mountain

We went to Stone Mountain to celebrate A.J.'s 7th birthday (which is this upcoming Saturday). Nana and Papa met us there, and we had a wonderful day. I took a ton of pictures, but unfortunately, the new memory stick I was using messed up a few of them. However, here are some good ones I did get.

The first thing we did was the ropes course. Abigail took the ground level version, but Allan, A.J., and Nana all hit the high ropes (probably about 50 feet up at the highest place).

We had a nice picnic and then went to the top of the mountain. Abigail, Nana, and I took the sky tram to the top, but the boys hiked the 1.3 miles straight up the mountain.
(Here is one of my messed up pictures... can anyone tell me how to fix it?)

We even had a chance to "Ride the Ducks." It was a bus ride that went into the water like a boat. Everyone had quackers for the trip. The kids each had a turn to drive the boat.

We did many other activities while we were there, although we weren't able to do everything we wanted because we ran out of time. However, it was a fabulous day that ended with a great laser light show.
