Stone Mountain

We went to see Stone Mountain and the Laser Show recently. I forgot that the boys had never seen Stone (or SNOW as Jake kept calling it) Mountain up close! They were so excited, and could NOT wait to get out of the car when we got into the park.  We got there pretty early (considering that the Laser Show doesn't start until 9:30!) because I had a party to photograph for a few hours... so BJ was solo with the (excited) kids!!!! They enjoyed climbing on the rocks around the lake and walking around the little 'town' area so much, that BJ didn't need to do anything else with them! They even loved playing on the lawn once they got the stuff out to save us a spot!!!  But by the time I was done and able to join them, they were SO READY for the laser show!!!!  They were a trip!!!!

See? Daddy became a jungle gym to 'pass the time'...

Empty water bottles became interesting toys...

Get ready.... it's about the start!!!!!!

They loved the show.... when they played "The Devil Went Down to GA," we spent the next two songs answering questions about the Devil..... once they were satisfied that he can't come into their house without permission, and that they have to be nice to each other to 'beat' the devil, then they were able to concentrate again!!!!  Once we got back to the car, Sam was asleep before we even got out of the park.  Jake didn't stop talking until we were over halfway home, so therefore he didn't fall asleep til then either! ;-) They did so good, though, and enjoyed it so much!!!!!  We have now promised to take them back and ride the train and climb the mountain and all of that fun stuff.... yay.... ;-)
