We took Ellie and Emma to Stone Mountain this weekend. (We left Mack in Tifton with my mom.) We had a blast! My cousins, Mark and Ginger Whitley live basically at the foot of the mountain. They were very gracious to allow us to stay at their house while they were out of town. We went up Friday and made it to their house by lunch where we met up with Uncle Amos ( my brother) and headed to the mountain.
The park was great and we tried most of the attractions including the 4D movie (which Ellie hated and kept her head covered the whole time,) we rode the train, and we played mini golf. We rode the gondola (sp?) up the mountain, but due to lightening in the area the sky ride was shut down indefinitely. So, we decided to foot it down the mountain. It was a 1.3 mile hike and the girls did awesome! Worth carried Emma only briefly down a really steep section, but other than that both girls bounced down the mountain. Ellie looked like Tigger bouncing down each ledge. She even said "this is the best hike I've ever been on!" (This was the only hike she's ever been on.)
Late that afternoon we headed back to Mark and Ginger's for a quick dinner and some down time before heading back for the laser show. The laser show was fantastic, and the girls were completely delirious by the time the show was over at 10pm. But, fun was definitely had by all!
