Stone Mountain

Today we went to Stone Mountain Park. It was the first time that Cody and Riley had ever been, and only the 2nd time for Jay (we had taken him to the lasershow years before). We got to the park ad had some lunch at the Honeybaked Ham Restaurant (it was not good at all). Then the fun started. Our first stop was Sky Hike. It was a bunch of ropes, balance beams, etc way up in the air. Cody stopped after the first obstacle, and mom and him went back down to the ground. Me, Jay, and Riley stayed and finished the first level. Then we went to a smaller version and the boys climbed over obstacles and rode a zip line. Next we went to the Great Barn. There were hundreds of balls, and the boys gathered them up and fed them into air guns and shot them. There were also slides and rope ladders. THen we went to Journey to the Center of the Earth 4D movie. Vibrating seats and actual water splashing on us made it 4D. It was pretty good. THen came the REAL fun stuff. We rode the Ducks. The Ducks are buses that drive on the road and then run right into the water and drive like boats. We had the craziest driver who kept on singing funny songs and dancing during the whole trip. We all got duck whistles that made quacking sounds when you blew into them. Jay and Riley even got to go up and drive the Duck when we got in the water!!! The Ducks were a lot of fun!! After the Ducks, we walked over to the base of the mountain and got on the Sky Ride. It is a cable car that takes you to the very top of Stone Mountain...1683 feet above sea level. We walked all around on top of the rock and took lots of good pictures....you could see all of the skyscrapers in Atlanta from the top of the mountain. After a while, we rode the cable car back to the bottom, and we finished out our day with a round of mini golf. It was a GREAT family day!! Just spending time with the boys when they are still young is truly a blessing. I hope that the boys had as much fun as I did today!!
