Stone Mountain

 For our sixteenth anniversary, we went to Stone Mountain in Georgia.  There's so much to do there, especially since I was last there as a teenager twenty years ago.  Rocco and I attempted the sky hike.  It's a ropes course high up in the trees.  Rocco hung for the first level then he was ready to get back down to the ground.  

 Seeing as he is the cautious one of my two children, I was so very proud of him for going as far as he did!

 He preferred the kids' course.  It had a zip line at the end; he held on tight and swung like a monkey all the way down and back.  He was amazed at his own strength and bravery.  His daddy and I were proud of him for this, too!

 Maverick thought he was big enough for the course, too.

We had some lunch at one of the cafes.  The boys did a good job sharing their slushy.  

Check out this brotherly love in the candy shop where we bought some buckeyes and fudge.

God blessed us with a beautiful day.  The weather was absolutely perfect.

 While Jason watched the sleeping baby, Rocco and I played some Putt Putt golf.  Look at the sign along the way.  I'm not far from my old  home town!

 On the first hole Rocco made a hole in one!  He is named after a famous golfer you know!

Later we took the 45 minute train ride around the mountain.  Maverick sure enjoyed it!

Our family...

I just love this candid shot!  They look so happy. 

  Later we rode the tram up on top of the mountain.  Once we were up there, I took off hiking with the boys.  Bad idea...I had to hike back up it!  At least we had some shade along the way.

 Rocco on top of Stone Mountain...Later he told me that he had prayed along one of our stops near the big rocks and shaded trees.  It was a beautiful place to worship.

 Geyser tower was another adventure we embarked upon that day.  It was a roped in climbing course with spontaneous water jets that soaked you when you were least expecting it.

Before the laser show, we ate at one of the restaurants on site.  I'd say the corn was little man's favorite!

My favorite part was just being with my family all day.  It was a great trip.
