Stone Mountain Georgia Weekend!

We took off for a quick weekend of fun with our friends, the McCormick Family. What a blast! The three day weekend just made us want to go back for more! It was Pumpkin Festival Month at Stone Mountain! And the decorations were awesome! Pumkins, pumpkins everywhere! There was even a giant pumkin tree! The kids had a great time----and we did too!

Check this out: Ride the Ducks! It was voted the best ride of all by the adults in our group (that's me, Kim and 2 Scott's). All the kids had an opportunity to drive the Duck. (I think my Scott was jealous!) A DUKW is an old WWII amphibious vehicle that can go from land to water----it's sooooo cool! We all want a duck now! We highly recommend riding the ducks!



Kim said it was a shame we had to find fall, one leaf at a time. That's true. The colors are not vivid this year because of the drought.

We also rode the train (not much to it at all) and the skylift to the top of the mountain. Now, here is how lucky we are: Saturday night was the last laser light show of the year! Can you believe it? Cool. Here are a couple of shots from the show. The carving in the side of the mountain is the size of a football field! And the last image of the flag was my surprise shot----I didn't think I could get it because my battery was low and so was my card. But, I did! It's a projection of the flag onto the carving.

We had a great time! If you haven't been to Stone Mountain, Georgia,-----well, you just gotta!
