Stone Mt

First day of spring break, and we celebrated by going to Stone Mountain with Gram!  And of course the first order of business at Stone Mountain is to ride to the top!



In one of the two cable cars. One is red, and one is blue.  Benny and Sam's favorite colors!



The boys had a great time up there, enjoying the view and comparing the map to the sites before them.


A bit hazy but still a nice view.


We enjoyed the 4-D movie, Journey to the Center of the Earth.  (4D means they squirt water at you, buzz the seats, and brush snakelike things against your legs while you watch the 3D film!)





The boys love "the ball barn" which is filled with foam balls and three floors full of machines, contraptions, and "guns" that you put the balls into and watch them disappear, shoot, fly, float, and otherwise do remarkable things.  The ball barn involves a whole lot of running up and down stairs, and crawling around gathering up sacks of foam balls.  Great fun.



There are more photos but I can't get them to upload. We had a good day and a great start to spring break.  Love that Stone Mountain!

Sounds like an awesome way to kick off spring break! Would love to see pics of the inside of this ball barn. Sounds intriguing.
